Good question. RME cards would usually fall in the "pro" category.
With others, eg. some of the ice1712 cards, the same chip is used
in cards with 2 to 8 analogue in/outs, so it's harder to categorise
them. On reflection, it's probably easier for those of us who need 
everything muted every time to just disable or remove the init.d script. 
That's what I've done on my system.
