The website? Heck no... the ALSA documentation is pretty horrible for
doing anything other than playing basic wave files in my experience :)

Well, maybe. I'm attaching my asound.state file (alsactl -f
asound.state restore) will load the settings. My modules configuration
is equally simple:

alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1       # insert your card here
alias snd-card-1 snd-pcm-oss            # load OSS emulation
options snd-pcm-oss snd_dsp_map=0 snd_adsp_map=3

The main thing is to load the drivers properly and unmute the card. If
you run alsamixer, you will at least be able to tell if you have
optical/coax output support.
