My bad. The sound-slot-0 alias is entirely unnecessary.

Woops, my bad again. I updated to the rawhide (see below for versions),
killed soundcard from /etc/sysconfig/hwconf, reran kudzu and everything
works now.
[zaitcev@pentabug zaitcev]$ rpm -q kudzu modutils system-config-soundcard
kudzu-1.1.57-1
modutils-2.4.26-15
system-config-soundcard-1.2.8-1
[zaitcev@pentabug zaitcev]$ cat /etc/modprobe.conf
include /etc/modprobe.conf.dist
alias eth0 3c59x
alias usb-controller uhci-hcd
alias usb-controller1 ohci-hcd
alias usb-controller2 ehci-hcd
alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1
install snd-emu10k1 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-emu10k1 && /usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
remove snd-emu10k1 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-emu10k1
[zaitcev@pentabug zaitcev]$
OK, so with the ALSA out of the way I can turn back to USB.
Actually, one more question. The system-config-soundcard depends on sox,
because it uses play(1). Would it be worth the trouble to redo it to use
aplay(1) and depend on alsa-utils instead?
Thanks,
