Subject: alsa-base: fails to detect legacy cards, must run alsaconf
Version: 1.0.8-7
Severity: important
This may not be your problem, but I'll report it in case it is...
The ALSA is unable to detect ISA legacy cards on startup. I use a
CS4236B (Crystal Sound) chipset, but this problem also occurs with other
legacy chipsets I've tested as well (the kernel was set up with the
necessary
modules). This has occured with other custom build versions (2.6.10) of
the
kernel I have used, so you may be including something in the Debian
kernels that is not present in the kernel.org version.
Running alsaconf once the system is running will detect the card properly.
List of relevant modules in my kernel version:

alsaconf writes the file, either /etc/modutils/sound
or /etc/modprobe.d/sound, that is used by the module loader of the
kernel that is currently running, either Linux 2.4 or 2.6, respectively.
alsaconf does not currently write to /etc/modules. It could be enhanced
to do so, I suppose. That would require some work.
If /etc/mod*/sound is set up correctly then it should suffice to put
snd
in /etc/modules instead of the name of the sound card driver that you
actually use. Is that true in your case? Can you please try this?
