I think you've figured out the basic problem: the OSS driver is getting loaded and taking control of the device before ALSA gets a chance. Seems like you need to find were the OSS driver is getting loaded. Try something like "grep cmpci /etc/modutils/*". If you can find an alias for that driver, comment it out, run update-modules and then reboot. If that doesn't work and no one else here knows what to do, the ALSA users mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) may be able to help. I know nothing about either of these drivers or about this specific device. Sorry I can't help more. I hope someone else can fill in the blanks.
