Problem: siehe Topic.

Distribution: gentoo.
Kernel: 2.6.15-gentoo-r1 PREEMPT
(Soundkonfiguration looks like this -> CONFIG_SOUND = y)

everything installed with gentoo's packagesystem:

alsa-driver 1.0.10-r2
alsa-tools
(includes envy24control for soundcards like my M-Audio Audiophile 192)
alsa-lib
alsa-headers

okay so far so good...

....now the configuration:

~/.asoundrc

pcm.ice1712 {
type hw
card 0
}

ctl.ice1712 {
type hw
card 0
}

/etc/modules.d/aliases or /etc/conf.modules oder /etc/modules.conf

# ALSA portion
alias char-major-116 snd
alias snd-card-0 snd-ice1712
# module options should go here

# OSS/Free portion
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0

# card #1
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss

....outputs...

because i don't buy and configure many soundcards, i'm a bit lost for
