Yes, and soundcore is also needed. '/sbin/modinfo <module_name>' gives
module info. Soundcore is needed for both OSS and ALSA. All sound
related modules not beginning with snd- are OSS modules AFAIK.

Some of the modules to remove may be used by another module so you would
have to know which ones to remove first. I think it's easier to undo
what sndconfig did. Sndconfig is an old program to set up the OSS
soundsystem, I think it should in general _not_ be used.
Please post your /etc/modules.conf, that's the most important file that
is changed by sndconfig. The 2.6 kernel uses /etc/modprobe.conf so post
that too.
If it worked in 9.0 it should work with 10.0 and it should work with
ALSA but that doesn't mean that it will :-( I think the best way is to
undo what sndconfig did, reboot (not strictly needed) and start again
configuring your sound if needed: first try the Mandrake tools, if that
doesn't work ALSA's alsaconf utility. If that doesn't work you can try
sndconfig again when ALSA isn't loaded. At the moment you have an
interesting mix of OSS and ALSA modules :-)
HTH,
