I won't, you can't know everyone and I am not *that* regular a participant
in the list. However, I've been a Gentoo guy for 8 years now and I should
know the basics by now ;-) (although I had my share of cases of negligence).

It has been in the default runlevel for a number of days now. The service is
also running right now.

*That* is what I was looking for. My intertubes search also guided me to
.asoundrc, but I had something different in it:
pcm.!default {
slave.pcm "pch:1,0"
}
Which didn't work.
When I edited .asoundrc as you suggested and it worked right away, I was
baffled. So I reverted the change and checked again -- still working.
Somehow, like other issues I had in the past, it “solved itself”, because
now aplay -L does give me a "default" device.
Yesterday, when I tried your kernel settings, rebuilt and rebooted, it did
not help. Unfortunately I didn't keep my old kernel config; I was unable to
reproduce my problem by reverting my config from memory. So this is another
one for the big book of mysteries, never to be remembered again. :-/
Thanks for your time.
