    I'm running a DSP2000 C-Port (envy24 chipset and my modprobe.conf
looks like this:

alias snd-card-0 snd-ice1712
options snd-card-0 index=0
options snd-ice1712 index=0
remove snd-ice1712 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store 0 >/dev/null 2>&1
|| : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-ice1712


That last (remove) line is all one line.
