Here's the only thing I see in dmesg.

I don't see how this can really be oss, because aplay works. Is it
possible that knoppix renamed the alsa driver? Because there isn't a
snd-emu10k1 module for the only kernel I can actually run.

I did it for my previous install by removing the modules, but I had
the alsa modules for my kernel in that case. I don't want to do it
here, since I don't have the ones you load.
I don't know why they make this so complicated.
I think the next thing I'm going to try is booting 2.6. I tried that
when I was struggling with recording, but I know the answer to that
one now.
