[ardour-users] alsa can't find my es1371 card

Trying using the harddrake utility to enable your
sound card instead of alsaconf.

You can get this by running "Configure Your Computer"
from the menu, then select "Hardware", then "Hardware"
again, and you should be able to configure your card
from there.  

Having owned an es1371 card before, I know it works.

I'm suspecting that it's configured to use the OSS
module, which would explain why Ardour and Jack
wouldn't work.

Also, take a look at this site, if you haven't
already:

http://rpm.nyvalls.se/sound10.0.html

Original message:::

Can anyone see what I might be missing here?
I'll try to be brief, but include what I know. 
I'm running 2.6.3-13mdk kernel. 
My sound works FINE from Totem.
Ardour won't work, 'cause Jack won't work, 'cause ALSA
won't work.
 I just compiled and installed the 1.0.5a ALSA driver,
lib and utils.

# jackd -R -d alsa
loading driver ..
creating alsa driver ... 
hw:0|hw:0|1024|2|48000|0|0|nomon|swmeter|-|32bit
jackd: pcm.c:690: snd_pcm_nonblock: Assertion `pcm'
failed.
Aborted
 
OK, supposedly I should be able to do something simple
like:
#   aplay -D hw:0,0 test.wav
aplay: main:507: audio open error: No such device
 
I played test.wav from totem just to make sure it's
OK.   It is.
 
Then I try
# alsaconf
  searching sound cards.....
  No supproted PnP or PCI card found.
Now I KNOW I've got an es1371 sound card in there!
