Thanks, but that didn't work.  I know I ran the
"snddevices" script when I installed ALSA.  I also
tried your suggestion, and all the dsp? devices give
the same "No such device" error message.

These both look OK to me, but I'm somewhat of a novice
at this, so here is the output.  Maybe there is
something that I am not seeing.

$ cat /proc/asound/pcm
00-00: Intel ICH : Intel 82801BA-ICH2 : playback 1 :
capture 1

$ cat /proc/asound/card0/pcm0c/info
card: 0
device: 0
subdevice: 0
stream: CAPTURE
id: Intel ICH
name: Intel 82801BA-ICH2
subname: subdevice #0
class: 0
subclass: 0
subdevices_count: 1
subdevices_avail: 1

I am beginning to think it is my modules.conf
configuration.

I created a file called "alsa" and put it in
/etc/modutils

alias char-major-116 snd
alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
#module optons should go here
# OSS/Free portion
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
# card #1
alias sound-services-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-services-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-services-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-services-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-services-0-12 snd-pcm-oss

I got this from the Documentation in the installing
ALSA section.  Maybe I shouldn't have, because now
that I go back and re-read it, maybe it is just for
RedHat 8.0, and I am using Debian 3.0.  Oh, yeah, I
did run update-modules to re-create my modules.conf
file, and the aliases did show up in it.

Thanks again,
Aaron
