Question ALSA & Debian 3.1r2 & CM(i)PCI 8738


Hi!

I've installed alsa-drier+alsa-lib+alsa-utils (all versions are 1.0.11).
Installing (i think so... :P) went OK!

But the problems started, when i tried "insert modules into kernel" <- as Alsa-DOCs (for my sound-card) said.

So i've entered in terminal (as root):
Code:
 modprobe snd-cmipci;modprobe snd-pcm-oss;modprobe snd-mixer-oss;modprobe snd-seq-oss
and terminal returned me:
Code:
modprobe: Can't locate module snd-cmipci
modprobe: Can't locate module snd-pcm-oss
modprobe: Can't locate module snd-mixer-oss
modprobe: Can't locate module snd-seq-oss
Running alsamixer in terminal returns me:
Code:
alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device
alsaconf don't detect my sound-card (CM(i)PCI* 8738).
The weird thing is, when i enter in console
Code:
modprobe cmpci
(yes yes, without "i" between "m" and "p")

i've got sound! But the problem is, that i can't play sound, from two streams once :/ (for e.g. XMMS and lets say... KMail)

lsmod returns me:
Code:

What do you mean?

Normally - downloaded, and compilied...
btw. forget about it - i've upgraded my kernel to the newest one - 2.6.16, and it sound is working well :-)

My next problem now is, when i'm compiling the newest KDE (3.5.2) i got Internal Error (something with my memory)... (it is when i'm compiling QT 3.3.6, and the newest one...)
