Something is trying to probe for a second card, and failing...

The previous line (and the alsaconf generated stuff) is not really
needed. That's part of the distributed global modprobe.conf.

You can safely ignore the sound_slot_1 thing, I think. There is a way to

alias snd-slot-1 off

But I may be wrong.
