No snd-card-[1-2] ?

Is this a sound driver? The name of alsa's drivers are always
snd-foo-bar. Isn't saa7134 a driver for a capture TV-card? To get it
work correctly read eg [0]

> options snd-usb-audio index=3
> options snd-usb-audio index=4

Why snd-usb-audio twice? the kernel provides snd-usb-audio only
once.

Looks like snd_emu10k1

It seems that your configuration doesn't provide snd-hda-intel
driver or you don't have a sound device using driver snd-hda-intel?

As usual my question:

What tells

lsmod | grep snd
cat /proc/cards

?
