As I said in my post, I simply followed the walk trough. And I don't know
enough about the alsa drivers to solve the problem myself.

- The walk trough doesn't say a thing about unloading OSS modules first, and
  I don't recall doing that the previous time either.
- The only option is set during configuration of the alsa-drivers is:
  "./configure --with-cards=ymfpci --with-sequencer=yes" as told on the walk trough.
  I don't see what could be wrong here since I did that too last time. Only difference
  is the Mandrake version (now 9.2, then 9.1)
- I don't know how to check whether the module is already loaded. I got this error
  first time i tried to load it. So I don't see how it could be loaded.

I would be grateful if someone could tell us how to check our systems
to be sure about the 3 points you mentioned.
