I commented out all the pwc stuff and I still get the system freeze when I add the line
alias sound-slot-1 snd-audio-usb
I have also tried commenting out the ICE1712 as well but it this also does not fix it.
Upon reboot modules.conf is corrupted (I've learned to keep a backup). I am using an XFS filing system.
Also if I find the version...
cat /proc/asound/version Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 0.9.0rc8. Compiled on Mar 14 2003 for kernel 2.4.21-0.16mm-mdk with versioned symbols.
The mm in the kernel is the multi-media patched kernel for Mandrake (contrib). I guessed this may be a reason for the system freeze so I tried the standard kernel also. Same result, system freeze.
I see Alsa is up to 0.9.3 now. That is probably the next thing to try...
Thanks, SimonB.

"audio" is the kernel's OSS driver. You really shouldn't load OSS and ALSA drivers (such as snd-ice1712) at the same time.
I've tried changing the USB mic settings to...
alias sound-slot-1 snd-audio
alias sound-service-1-0 snd-audio
ALSA's USB driver is names snd-usb-audio ...
...and I've also tried snd-usb-audio too, only that results in a
complete system freeze when Alsa starts. Nasty.
snd-usb-audio should work. Probably you have an old ALSA version (see /proc/asound/version), but I guess there's a conflict when snd-usb-audio and the proprietary driver both try to access the device at the same time. Please try loading snd-usb-audio without the pwc/pwcx modules.
