ALSA 0.3-pre4 doesn't use /dev/sndstat. With older versions it used to
work but that changed.

This is what I get:

$ cat /dev/sndstat
cat: /dev/sndstat: Operation not supported by device

You should remove the OSS module. soundcore.o is all you need from the
kernel.

This is a bad approach from an application. But some apps use it.

You could of course remove (or move) the original /dev/sndstat file and
replace it with a text file. I have included a version that might work for
you.

There was some discussion about this before, but it was some time ago.

Your conf.modules looks fine to me. I personally like to pass all the
parameters to the modules, but maybe that's something you don't need to
do.
