Try:
chmod a+rw /dev/dsp /dev/mixer /dev/sequencer /dev/midi
add yourself to the "audio" group under /etc/group -- mine looks like
this: audio:x:29:emmajane,root
instructions from:
http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php3?company=ALi&card=M1535%2CM1535D%2CM1535%2B%2CM1535D%2B&chip=M5451&module=ali5451
I was getting that error message. Ulimately I'm not convinced I'd actually
installed the (correct) ALSA modules. But since you *can* play music as
root your problem might be somewhat easier to solve.

I use wireless, so it may be a slightly different problem; however, for
some reason make-kpkg found an old version of the pcmcia source and used
out-dated modules. It took me SEVERAL tries to get everything in the right
order. I was also configuring for my graphics card (nvidia) for a total
of: nvidia, pcmcia and alsa as seperate modules. Plus all the things that
are in my kernel as modules (i.e. soundcore).
Instead of just relying on --append-to-version I actually (re)moved
the /lib/modules/<kernel> directory and then did modules_install again.
(Let me know if you want that in a non-short hand version.)
