I would also argue that storage subsystems and sound cards are two very
different class of devices. We can afford to be a little overzealous with
sound hardware. If it doesn't work, it's not the end of the world. If a
storage subsystem that is probed doesn't work (or worse, silently fails
in subtle ways), that's much worse.
