When you enabled your card in the ALSA kernel config, did you select
it as a module?
Can you find the module files in the following directory?
/lib/modules/2.6.11-gentoo-r9/kernel/sound
(I has happened to me that add support for my card(s) as kernel
built-ins, and suddenly
ALSA does not work)

If the truth can't set you free, a lie will save you.
