My new modprobe.conf is:

alias eth0 8139too

alias snd-card-0 snd-usb-audio
options snd-card-0 index=0
options snd-usb-audio index=0

alias snd-card-1 snd-ens1371
options snd-card-1 index=1
options snd-ens1371 index=1

remove snd-ens1371 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store 0 >/dev/null 2>&1
|| : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-ens1371

where I left the "remove" line as it was originally.

Kmix comes up with the usb soundcard as default.  Thanks!

The remaining problem may be a bug.  In order to get xmms to work after
starting it I go options -> preferences and then configure the ALSA
Output Plugin.  The Audio device entry shows "hw:0,0" -- which
corresponds to the usb soundcard on the pulldown menu -- but I have to
apply this and restart xmms in order to get any sound....
