What output do you get with the following commands?

cat /proc/asound/version
cat /proc/asound/cards
cat /proc/asound/devices
cat /proc/asound/oss-devices
cat /proc/asound/timers
cat /proc/asound/pcm

BTW, I'm running a 2.6 kernel on FC1 (not rawhide), and here is what I
put in my /etc/modprobe.conf:

# ALSA portion
alias char-major-116 snd
alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0                                                                         

# OSS/Free portion
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
                                                                                
# card #1
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss

Here is my /etc/asound.conf

#
# ALSA voodoo

pcm.!default {
        type plug
        slave.pcm "dmixer"
}
 
pcm.dmixer  {
    type dmix
    ipc_key 1024
    slave {
        pcm "hw:0,0"
        period_time 0
        period_size 1024
        buffer_size 4096
        rate 44100
    }
    bindings {
        0 0
        1 1
    }
}
  
ctl.dmixer {
    type hw
    card 0
}
 
pcm.intel8x0 {
        type hw
        card 0
}
 
ctl.intel8x0 {
        type hw
        card 0
}
