Out of interest, what does setting index=-2 actually do? According to
the kernel documentation, a negative index interpreted "as a bitmask of
permissable indices; the first free permitted index is assigned".

So doesn't this mean that users with three sound devices already present
on their system will not get snd-pcsp loaded? Consider that a user might
already have an onboard sound device, a discrete sound card, and a USB
microphone already...
