You very much need a working ALSA setup. If you're using Linux, forget about OSS (it's a dead system long since purged from the kernel and as such doomed to die a (sadly long and lingering) death). If the udev-detect module doesn't work, then that is a problem. Make sure your kernel is new enough for the udev version you are using.
