Thanks to Stan and to you for answer.
I did that, and the /dev/mixer was created, also the /dev/dsp which is needed by xawtv.
I checked the alsa-oss, it wasn't installed, my bad. Now the alsa oss moduls are being loaded at the system startup.
No more error messages but I still have no sound in tvtime, xawtv and mplayer (only tv, movie files work ok).
The volume is on 0 and I can't change it.
Also I unmuted everything in alsamixer, altought there is no option to adjust volume for cd. Same situation in kmix.
The tv card works fine, as in win I have sound.

Yes, I forgot to mention that sound works fine in other applications like amarok, audacious...

I have also reinstalled all alsa packages I have on slack cds but nothing changed:
alsa-lib-1.0.15-i486-1
alsa-oss-1.0.15-i486-1
alsa-utils-1.0.15-i486-3
