Passing module option to d-i [Was: Avoiding prompt if no sound card is detected speakup.synth=soft]

[Samuel Thibault]

Hello,

Retitling since that's a completely different question

After a fresh install of Debian, for Orca to "speak" the "legacy driver"
suggested at [1] will make Orca usable.
What is the best way to test in d-i '/etc/modprobe.d/inteldsp.conf'
'options snd_intel_dspcfg dsp_driver=1'?

Possibly passing snd_intel_dspcfg.dsp_driver=1 on the kernel command
line, I don't remember if that's supposed to work for loaded modules?

It is. d-i uses kmod's implementation of modprobe, which always does
this.

(Several releases ago d-i was using busybox's modprobe, but I think
even that was configured to support this.)
