Some progress, but still not where I want to be....

There is nothing that tells me what to call the card (not in the
distribution that I have anyway). The driver is certainly snd-ens-1371, but
in the conf.modules I am supposed to have a line that says:
alias snd-card-0 <something>
and nothing I have gives me a clue as to what value <something> should take.
There's also a parameter to an options statement that says:
snd_id = "<something else>"
and I don't know what <something else> should be either.
Ignoring these problems for a moment I read that in order to record audio,
once I have ALSA correctly installed, I need to issue the following:
cat /proc/asound/card1/pcm0p > wherever
But in my installation there is no card<n> subdirectory in /proc/asound.
There is a file called /proc/asound/cards. When I cat that it simply says
"no sound cards installed". Which is very odd, because I can certainly hear
audio from the card.
So I restate my plea: if someone actually has ALSA working with a Sound
Blaster AudioPCI 128 card or an Ensoniq 1371, could they please send me a
copy of their conf.modules file?
Sarang's comments have been very helpful, and I'm sure I'm closer, but I
still haven't got the thing working....
(Well, I have it so that it plays audio, but I still can't record the
audio, which was the whole point of this exercise.)
