I haven't used ALSA in some time now, I'm doing all my sound in
the kernel. However I found an old /etc/modules.conf file that
has the config in it that I used to use with ALSA:
## Alsa Sound
alias char-major-116 snd
alias snd-card-0 snd-card-maestro3
## OSS/Free
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
options snd snd_cards_limit=1
This matches up the ALSA drivers with the right sound devices.
Make sure you have something similar to this.
Also, if you could respond to list emails onlist and not directly
I'd appreciate that.
