How are you loading your pcm mocules? Do you have a /etc/modutils/alsa set up if you are using debian, or did you modify your modules.conf if you have another distro? I would think loadking modules by hand might be a bit tricky, as I notice that snd-pcm-oss is actually in two different lines of my /etc/modutils/alsa. Since iZ already sent that, I won't do so again.
