[PLUG] Alsa problems...

I can't select my sound card in alsaconf because alsaconf doesn't 
list it even though I know I have a module for it.

I have a DR sound ISA sound card or I guess an OPTi931 sound card.

admin at condor:~$ ls alsa/
alsa-driver-1.0.9rc4a/         alsa-lib-1.0.9rc4.tar.bz2
alsa-driver-1.0.9rc4a.tar.bz2  alsa-utils-1.0.9rc4a/
alsa-lib-1.0.9rc4/             alsa-utils-1.0.9rc4a.tar.bz2

As you can see, I grabbed recent source code for ALSA.

I'm running a 2.6.10 kernel, have to because later kernels
don't work with my Quickcam color camera, the cheap one.

(CONFIGURE OPT0931/-1 (LD 0

As you can, the above piece of my isapnp.conf file suggests that
the card is an OPTi931 as well.

Is the driver for this sound card simply not functional or is there
a trick to get alsaconf to try it?

I'm also having trouble with alsamixer not working as the following
shows:

admin at condor:~$ alsamixer 

alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or
directory
admin at condor:~$ 

I have another similar computer that sports Monorail 3D audio which also
identifies as an OPTi931.
