There's nothing like that here, but I've run
/usr/share/alsa-base/snddevices several times. If you have to give it
arguments, I don't have any idea about that either.

In debian (I think any debian), modules.conf is a file, which is created from
the files in the /etc/modutils directory. The sound-related stuff in
modules.conf is:
(This part is because I created /etc/modutils/alsa from directions on
the net.)
### update-modules: start processing /etc/modutils/alsa
# ALSA portion
alias char-major-116 snd
alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1
# module options should go here
# 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
(This part is there in any knoppix system, I think.)
### update-modules: end processing /etc/modutils/alsa
### update-modules: start processing /etc/modutils/alsa-base
above snd-pcm snd-pcm-oss
above snd-mixer snd-mixer-oss
above snd-seq snd-seq-oss

I think this might be the problem -- I have emu10k1 instead of snd-emu10k1,
although previously when that's been the problem I haven't had
anything work at all.
In the current setup I don't seem to be able to unload emu10k1 without
rebooting, and whenever I reboot, I get it back. I have tried
telling hotplug not to load it, but it comes anyway, so maybe it
isn't hotplug doing it.
Another frustration is that I can't boot any kernel-image that I
download (with the corresponding alsa-modules), because the knoppix
install formatted the root drive as ext3, and the premade
kernel-image's load ext3 as a module, so they can't deal with a root
ext3 partition. I've tried several things to work around that,
without success, too.
