Hi

I'm having trouble getting ALSA to work with my es1938. I'm not sure
what the problem is, all I know is that it doesn't work at all. 

I compiled and installed the drivers, libraries and utilities. 

I ran snddevices to create new devices in /dev.

I had no idea how to edit /etc/conf.modules so I did nothing to it.
This didn't work, so I tried using alsaconf. It detected the es1938,
and asked me if I wanted to configure it. I said yes, then it asked
if I wanted to configure any other sound cards, so I said no.

alsaconf added the following to /etc/conf.modules:
# --- BEGIN: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. ---
alias char-major-14 snd
alias snd-minor-oss-0
alias snd-minor-oss-3 snd-pcm1-oss
alias snd-minor-oss-4 snd-pcm1-oss
alias snd-minor-oss-5 snd-pcm1-oss
alias snd-minor-oss-12 snd-pcm1-oss
alias snd-card-0
options snd snd_major=14 snd_cards_limit=1 snd_device_mode=0660 
snd_device_gid=29 snd_device_ui d=0
options  snd_index=1 snd_id=CARD_1
# --- END: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. ---

I restarted the computer and after it said "Loading modules" it 
gave the error message conf:63: missing argument. I guess this was
from the lines "alias snd-minor-oss-0" and "alias snd-card-0",
though I really don't understand conf.modules.

From the documentation I guessed that these lines should read
alias snd-minor-oss-0 snd-es1938         and
alias snd-card-0 snd-es1938

After doing that and running modprobe snd-es1938 I found that the
error message had gone away. However, it still doesn't work.

/proc/asound/cards:
--- no soundcards ---

Obviously it hasn't worked, but I don't know why. Any help would
be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Steven
