I'm a bit confused. Even though all the stuff above it working, do you have sound? Also, are you running Debian or Knoppix? (Not that it matters) Looks like you are using Knoppix, but installed on your system and not from a CD? (I only use Knoppix for Live CD type edits, etc.) Don't know where I got the Debian idea. I'm tired... Anyway, if you are getting sound, and if alsamixer is working, bu you have no snd-emu10k1 listing in lsmod, then it would appear that the driver is compiled into the kernel? Not sure. What does dmesg tell you this time? Does it say it has a driver? Or does it say it cannot find one? And as for pysol, I think it's using OSS emulation. Have you enabled that? It may require a modprobe. snd_pcm_oss possibly? snd_mixer_oss? snd_oss?
