[Alsa-user] Can't get USB audio to work

[Fedor G. P. <fe...@wv...>]

Still trying to get the USB audio (Midiman Duo) to work...

Here is what I have:
------------------------------ /etc/modules.conf -----------------------------
# Sound
alias char-major-116 snd
options snd snd_major=116 snd_cards_limit=2 snd_device_mode=0666 snd_device_gid=0 snd_device_uid=0
alias char-major-14 soundcore

# Sound Blaster Live!
alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1
options snd-emu10k1 snd_index=0 snd_id=SBLive snd_extin=0x3fcf snd_extout=0x1fff
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-6 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss

# Midiman Duo
alias snd-card-1 snd-usb-audio
options snd-usb-audio snd_index=1 snd_id=MidimanDuo snd_enable=1
alias sound-slot-1 snd-card-1
alias sound-slot-1  snd-card-1
alias sound-service-1-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-1-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-1-12 snd-pcm-oss

------------------------------ /etc/alsa.conf -----------------------------
pcm.emu10k1 {
   type hw
   card 0
   device 0
}

ctl.emu10k1 {
   type hw
   card 0
}

pcm.duo1 {
   type hw
   card 1
   device 0
}

ctl.duo1 {
   type hw
   card 1
}

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok, now I start ALSA... I get this message:
Starting sound driver: snd-emu10k1 done
Starting sound driver: snd-usb-audio done
No state is present for card MidimanDuo

And indeed there is no state. "alsactl store 1" results in empty state:
state.MidimanDuo {
}

amixer does not show anything for USB device.
There is nothing wrong reported in the log, I get something like this:
Sep  6 20:46:59 valinor kernel: PCI: Found IRQ 11 for device 00:0f.0
Sep  6 20:46:59 valinor kernel: PCI: Sharing IRQ 11 with 00:0d.0
Sep  6 20:46:59 valinor kernel: usb.c: registered new driver snd-usb-audio

There is stuff in /proc for the second card:
ls /proc/asound/card1/
id  pcm0c/  pcm0p/  pcm1c/  pcm1p/  stream0  stream1
ls /proc/asound/card1/pcm0c/
info  sub0/
and quite a few entries in info, Capture, Playback...

Oh, and arecord from hw:1,0 records silence.
So, why does nothing work?
