I don't think you need to copy those anywhere, they are internal device
definitions used by alsa for that particular card.

What are those lines?

You could check with "lspci -v" to see if the card is listed. It should
appear as a regular pci card. If it is not there then something is not
working in the pcmcia area. If it is there then something's wrong with
the alsa driver.
