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.
