They are called : snd-mixer-oss snd-seq-oss snd-pcm-oss (and maybe others).
Here is the relevant section of my modules.conf : as you can see, I don't have the same sound card, so the snd-card-xxxx module is different. alias char-major-116 snd alias snd-card-0 snd-card-via686a alias char-major-14 soundcore alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 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 options snd-card-via686a snd_mpu_port=0x300 NOTE : I have ALSA 0.5.7 compiled from source, since the version in Slink did not support my card. I had to tweek it a little to compile it on Slink+Kernel 2.2.13 -- FB
