[Time 0] Device not loaded, retrying
[Time 1] Device not loaded, retrying
[Time 2] Device loaded, Device is device_name.
Something like this is normal, and can be safely ignored. If there comes a day when we can do custom kernels for the Pi, then we can statically compile the audio driver into the kernel, instead of loading it up as a module. That *might* remove the retry messages, and potentially sound better too.. But, that'll be a project for another day. :p
