Default: enabled, for PCI and ISA PnP cards
+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.
