If kernel version _KVERS_ is running when this package is installed then applications using ALSA sound drivers will be forcibly stopped and any loaded ALSA sound drivers will be reloaded. Consequently it is a good idea to exit sound related applications before installing this package. . Please note that ALSA driver modules are included in kernel-image packages of version 2.6 or higher. Therefore, you do not need to install an alsa-modules package if you are running a 2.6 kernel. You may still want to install an alsa-modules package for a 2.6 kernel because the drivers in alsa-modules packages are usually more current than those in kernel-image packages. In any case, if you do install an alsa-modules package then the module loader will prefer its modules over those from the kernel-image package. . ALSA is the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture.
