You can see which codec slots are probed by enabling + CONFIG_SND_DEBUG_DETECT, or simply from the file name of the codec + proc files. Then limit the slots to probe by probe_mask option. + For example, probe_mask=1 means to probe only the first slot, and + probe_mask=4 means only the third slot. + The power-management is supported.
