Did you run the snddevices script in the alsa-driver source? Does the mortal user on your system (anyone but root) have rw access to /dev/dsp[0-n]? Do any of the standard oss mixers (kmix, gmix) recognize and work with your card? If yes to all of those, perhaps you need to choose the right sound interface in xmms?
