Through the knowledge gained from your frustrating experience I hope you
will help us with the never ending task of documenting.

lsmod and look at the output for the sound modules that are loaded (if any).
If they start with the prefix "snd" then they are alsa drivers and if it
doesn't you are using the USB-audio driver which was written to use the
oss code in the kernel.
If you really want to use the alsa drivers (which I hope you do) then
rmmod audio
modprobe snd-usb-audio;modprobe snd-pcm-oss;modprobe snd-mixer-oss
Of course soundcore is always soundcore so you will always have it
loaded for sound.

Ok we need to add a write up for it in the usb-audio docs in the
ALSA-WIKI. Are you interested? You should have a fairly good grasp of
the wiki by now :)
