1. Please put those local settings in a seperate file like
   /etc/modprobe.d local_alsa_settings.conf. So it won't be
   overwritten by upgrades.
2. We can't distribute individual Options for each sound chip. This
   would be terrible to maintain.
3  To get an overview by possible optionns read
   /usr/share/doc/alsa-base/driver/(HD-Audio-Models.txt.gz|HD-Audio.txt.gz)
4. Else read /usr/share/doc/alsa-base/README.Debian.gz on how to set
   options to a sound driver.

So you could understand why we won't fix this wishlist.
