Alsa fails at boot, but not after manual alsaconf

Hallo,
                         
        I amm on a debian sarge gnome desktop. I have an
                            on-board sis/ac97 chip.
                         
        This week I downloaded kernel 2.6.15.1 and installed sound etc.
        as modules
        since I wanted to include a webcam. Sound has not been tested
        before. When
        booting the new kernel, alsa sound seems to be enabled since the
        modules
        are loaded. However, when I try e.g. xmms than I get the message
        (translated by myself)
        
        please check that the soundcard is installed properly, that the
        correct
        plug-ins are chosen, and that no other program blocks sound.
        
        The situation is bizarre:
                         
        When I shutdown gnome and move to the terminal and run alsaconf,
        the card
        is found and enabled. After restarting gnome sound works, no
        program
        blocks the card. This demonstrates that things are properly
        installed,
        modules available, permissions granted etc.
                
        What do I have to do to make sound start correctly at boottime?
        The alsa
        settings should be saved during shutdown and reloaded at
        boottime. How can
        I control that the correct alsa settings are loaded, what file
        is the
        relevant one?
                         
        I am working with the original debian sarge versions (as of juli
        2005).
                         
        Included is the lsmod output after booting
        Any help is very much appreciated
        
        Any help is appreciated
