ALSA: docs: Extend module parameters description
Common ALSA module parameters look a little bit confusing because of the description lacking, and it took me a while to understand the purpose of their existence. To figure it out I asked the question about them to the "alsa-devel" mailing list, and Takashi Iwai answered me with the text I appended to the ALSA documentation in this patch. These common module parameters aren't used a lot nowadays, but as I understand they are important for providing compatibility with some existing user-space apps. So in my opinion it is a good idea to document why we need them.

These options are used for either specifying the order of instances or
|
||||
controlling enabling and disabling of each one of the devices if there
|
||||
are multiple devices bound with the same driver. For example, there are
|
||||
many machines which have two HD-audio controllers (one for HDMI/DP
|
||||
audio and another for onboard analog). In most cases, the second one is
|
||||
in primary usage, and people would like to assign it as the first
|
||||
appearing card. They can do it by specifying "index=1,0" module
|
||||
parameter, which will swap the assignment slots.

|
||||
Today, with the sound backend like PulseAudio and PipeWire which
|
||||
supports dynamic configuration, it's of little use, but that was a
|
||||
help for static configuration in the past.
