Question help setting up sound card


Hi,
I'm trying to set up my DSP24v soundcard to work in Redhat 8. I've installed everything but i'm not sure what I have to add into the /etc/modules.conf file.
The instructions say to add.....
# ALSA portion
alias char-major-116 snd
alias snd-card-0 snd-

# module options should go here

# OSS/Free portion
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
# card #1
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss

but i'm not sure what I add where it say's............

#module options go here

Apparently the module options are...

-description: "Midlevel PCM code for ALSA."
-author: "Jaroslav Kysela , Abramo Bagnara "
-license: "GPL"
-parm: preallocate_dma int, description "Preallocate DMA memory when the PCM devices are initialized."
-parm: maximum_substreams int, description "Maximum substreams with preallocated DMA memory."

But i don't have a clue what thats going on about!
Any help would be much appreciated..
thanks
Rob
