I've got another one of my useless ideas. Maybe some day one will be of use.
First, to get the obvious out of the way, do this:
killall -9 artsd killall -9 esd
Then, try these, as root:
service alsa stop service sound stop
then do:
lsmod
and rmmod anything that starts with "snd-", like:
rmmod snd-via8233
there were none on the list starting with "snd-"
then, also do a
rmmod emu10k1-gp (this is the module that appears loaded as the driver for your "unexistant" soundcard. Kill everything and anything you see that relates to this soundcard).
response: "is not loaded"
You have said earlier that your /etc/modules.conf looks like:
---- probeall scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi probeall usb-interface usb-uhci alias sound-slot-0 snd-via8233 above snd-via8233 snd-pcm-oss alias net-pf-4 ipx alias autofs autofs4 ----
So, remove both lines relating to your sound system. (that is, the third and fourth line.)
Save your changes.
The idea behind this is to completely clean your sound setup. Now, we should be able to configure from the ground up.
do: (always as root)
insmod snd-via8233
and check for any errors or output messages.
here's the output:

Is this as bad as it looks? I didn't dare go any further!

If that went allright, then:
-open up aumix and turn the volume up.
-open up xmms, right click on it so you get the context menu, go to options --> preferences and choose ALSA ad output plugin. If you don't see alsa, then you need to:
urpmi xmms-alsa
then try again and select alsa as output. Then, choose any sound file and try to play it.
Tell me how it went.
