Hey Bert!
I also had some problems with the alsamixer in that I could not change
the volume with the applet icon on my panel.
Funny thing was I upgraded from my 2.6.2 kernel to 2.6.4 trying to get
the Cisco VPN client to play nice (that didn't work by the way) and now
I get alsamixer running just fine now.
I can't really explain what happened.
It is weird, the only thing I changed before recompiling the new kernel
was modifying `/etc/modprobe.conf.dist`
alias char-major-14-* soundcore
I added the -* to this line and it seems to work. I got that tip from
this list too.
Cheers,
Chris

Why?????
I am root.
Alsa is weird or at least poorly documented.
I sware that if I ever get it figured out, I'll do a writeup
that meer mortals can understand.
Thanks,

I have just installed Alsa and here's my experience.
Using http://foolish.digitalinc.info/docs/alsa/ as a start
downloaded alsa.rpm's ran rpm -ivh *.rpm
setup modules.conf disabled kdearts
Used /usr/bin/alsaconf,it found the card (SB Audigy)but errored
on 'start rcalsasound not found in alsactl line 691 (I think)'
Tried to sudo rmmod audigy ac97_codec sound but would say 'busy'
didn't try to rm soundcore AFAIK alsa also uses it
My only alternative was a reboot.
I now have alsa running.
