What else could I be missing? Hmm, as I tested with analog module, it did run well..
I suspect that the driver was not compiled with joystick support. Please check whether gameport module is loaded when ALSA starts. (Or please check /lib/modules/XXX/modules.dep whether snd-card-es1938 requires gameport module.) If not, then your kernel config (linux/autoconf.h) doesn't include joystick support. You'll need to modify the kernel configuration. BTW, the device files look ok.
