Well after I run update-modules, this is what I have in /etc/modutils.conf

    # --- BEGIN: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. ---
    # --- ALSACONF verion 0.9.0 ---
    alias char-major-116 snd
    alias snd-card-0 snd-ens1371

Does that seem right to you? I've commented out the *-oss devices because I
don't need them.

It seems to be partly working.

    # cat /proc/asound/devices
      0: [0- 0]: ctl
      8: [0- 0]: raw midi
     17: [0- 1]: digital audio playback
     16: [0- 0]: digital audio playback
     24: [0- 0]: digital audio capture
      1: : sequencer
     33: : timer
     32: [1- 0]: ctl
     40: [1- 0]: raw midi
     49: [1- 1]: digital audio playback
     48: [1- 0]: digital audio playback
     56: [1- 0]: digital audio capture

But no audio out of the second card.

The National Multiple Sclerosis Society of America recently started an
advertising campaign with the slogan "MS: It's not a software company".

Seasoned IT professionals will have no trouble telling the two MS's 
apart. One is a debilitating and surprisingly widespread affliction 
that renders the sufferer barely able to perform the simplest task. 
The other is a disease.
