I removed modules.conf and changed modprobe.conf to:
# Note: for use under 2.4, changes must also be made to modules.conf!
alias usb-controller ohci-hcd
alias ieee1394-controller ohci1394
options ne irq=10
alias eth0 nvnet
alias usb-interface usb-ohci
alias snd-card-0 nvsound
Is this what you mean by "clean up all sound/mixer related stuff"?
I tried also deleting the "alias snd-card-0" line but this stopped
system-config-soundcard from starting at all.
When I run system-config-soundcard it doesn't seem to make any changes
to modprobe.conf. Should it? Anyway - same result as before - test
sounds play fine but no joy with xmms or gnome-cd or any other player.

How do I get these alsactl entries?
My xmms is configured with the eSound output plugin - when I try to use
the ALSA output plugin I get the following error message (when I start
xmms from the command line):
** WARNING **: alsa_get_mixer(): Attaching to mixer hw:0 failed: No such
device
I get similar error messages dumped to the console when running
system-config-soundcard:
[########### nick]# system-config-soundcard
amixer: Mixer attach default error: No such device
amixer: Mixer attach default error: No such device
-8
amixer: Mixer attach default error: No such device
amixer: Mixer attach default error: No such device
Any ideas?
