I think you've figured out the basic problem: the OSS driver is
getting loaded and taking control of the device before ALSA gets a
chance.
Seems like you need to find were the OSS driver is getting loaded.
Try something like "grep cmpci /etc/modutils/*". If you can find an
alias for that driver, comment it out, run update-modules and then
reboot.
If that doesn't work and no one else here knows what to do, the ALSA
users mailing list (alsa-user@lists.sourceforge.net) may be able to
help.
I know nothing about either of these drivers or about this specific
device. Sorry I can't help more. I hope someone else can fill in the
blanks.
Good luck,
