I seem to recall that when I got that far, I then did two things:
1. I fiddled with my modules.conf
2. I made sure I build the OSS compatability
3. Using nothing more than aumix with the OSS compatability,
I can play whatever I want.
( I cannot record to save my ass, except under very rigorous
circumstances with very high sampling rates. via686a )
Anyway, imho, I would do the 1,2,3 thing above.
Perhaps you have already done so.
That is the best I can suggest, however.
Here's what I have in my modules.conf
-----------------------------------------------
alias net-pf-4 ipx
alias char-major-107 3dfx
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
pre-install plip modprobe parport_pc ; echo 7 > /proc/parport/0/irq
alias autofs autofs4
probeall scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi
alias eth0 8139too
alias sound snd-card-via686a
alias char-major-14 snd
alias snd-minor-oss-0 snd-mixer
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias snd-minor-oss-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias snd-minor-oss-4 snd-pcm-oss
alias snd-minor-oss-5 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias snd-minor-oss-12 snd-pcm-oss
alias snd-card-0 snd-card-via686a
alias sound-slot-1 snd-mpu401-uart
alias char-major-116 snd
Note the "SND" and the "Char-major-14" and the snd-card-0
and the OSS stuff.
