As to devsf/ALSA conflict... This has been a major issue as of late, so I wanted to redirect this posting as a general "note to Mandrake users".
You CAN adjust the devfs setup to work with ALSA if you want (there is info elsewhere on this listserver for mofifying your /etc/module.devfs if you are hell-bent of using devfs), but I don't see the point. Just turn it off as noted below, and make sure to fix the dead "/dev/snd" link problem (also noted below). This caused me a week or so of headaches before I spotted it, and I hope I can spare you the pain. Happy music making.
