Thanks for the suggestion--the problem does indeed seem to be a conflict with the usb microphone on my camera. When I boot without my usb camera connected, then Alsa OSS emulation and native Alsa both work perfectly again! All is not well though: when I boot with the usb camera connected and audio in /etc/hotplug/blacklist as you suggest, then snd-usb-audio does load automatically, but for some reason Alsa does not load for the sound card! Very odd. I have to do manually do "/etc/rc.d/init.d/alsa restart" to get Alsa going. Thanks again Clemens, you've isolated the initial problem. If you have any further suggestions as to why Alsa no longer starts automatically with audio blacklisted I'd like to hear them!
