I don't know that much about ALSA, but I think you're supposed to have
everything compiled as modules for it to work. If I were you (and,
indeed, this is what I did since I have an sb128, too), I would ditch
all the ALSA stuff, compile sound and the es1371 driver into your
kernel (which I believe you've already done), run aumix to set the
volume, and play. Appearently, ALSA has some advantages over the
standard kernel drivers, but you should get it working before you try
to get fancy :-)
