Tried 1.0.2c along with alsa-lib and alsa-utils 1.0.2. Configured and compiled 
without error but the same basic problem exists, "no cards found".

I seem to have all the appropriate entries in /etc/modprobe.conf. Alsaconf 
behaves erratically, finding my au8830 perhaps one in five attempts. The 
modules appear to autoload on demand, for example by attempting to run 
mpg123. Alsactl can't find any cards. Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong? 

Thanks,
