This is absolutely wrong command...
With latest packages are need these steps:

1) use alsactl program for store driver configuration 'alsactl store'
2) edit /etc/asound.conf (find "Joystick" switches and turn on)
3) use alsactl program for restore driver configuration 'alsactl restore'

If you have some trouble - use CVS sources before bug report...
