Hi List
here is the relevent section od Modprobe -c showing the alias for the snd-*.o
driver modules
# Aliases
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm1-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm1-oss
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
alias snd-card-0 snd-sb16
alias char-major-14 snd
alias char-major-116 snd   

It quite
clearly shows snd-pcm1-oss

And here is the alsaconf produced entry in conf.modules

# --- BEGIN: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. ---
alias char-major-116 snd
alias char-major-14 snd
alias snd-card-0 snd-sb16
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm1-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm1-oss
options snd snd_major=116 snd_cards_limit=1 snd_device_mode=0660 snd_device_gid=0 snd_device_uid=0
options snd-sb16 snd_index=1 snd_id=soundblaster snd_port=0x220 snd_mpu_port=0x330 snd_irq=5 snd_dma8=1 snd_dma8_size=64 snd_dma16=5 snd_dma16_size=128 snd_mic_agc=1
# --- END: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. ---

As you can see it is quite clearly listed

Yet if I do lsmod it isn't listed

So what gives, any suggestions?

I now have cdaudio playing ok, aplay and arecord work OK,
amixer and alsamixer do their and xamixer works a treat,
but even aumix doesn't work output below

[root@localhost /root]# aumix
aumix: error opening /dev/mixer.
[root@localhost /root]# 

x11amp says it can't open device followed by can't reset device
and all KDE sound apps except Kscd won't produce output. Kmixer says it doesn't
have permissions to open /dev/mixer, needs a+rw which it does, I have even
tried setting /dev/mixer and also /dev/mixer1 suid with no joy.

This is bugging me because i am sure it should be relatively easy to fix and I
am having real problems figuring it out.

Version info
Redhat Linux 5.1 (Manhatten)
Kernel 2.0.35-1
alsa-libs
alsa-drivers
alsautils all ver -0.3.0-pre3
Sound card sb32 PNP
isapnp ver 1.17-1
Card is functioning because it is correctly identified at boot-time and I hear
sound switch on. If I speak into the mike I hear the output through the
speakers. 
Only other apps don't work so help me please what an I missing.
Do snd-pcm.o &snd-pcm1.o have aliases that need to be loaded into system, to
allow snd-pcm1-oss.o to be loaded to make the system OSS compatible?
