I just upgraded a basically kde system to use alsa. It was difficult but I got
there in the end.
The main problem appears to be that the alsa packages cut out during
installation because there appears to be a conflict between it and what was
there before. I had already got some files in both /etc/modutils and in /
etc/devfs related to my emu10k1 device.
I was also running the update (via aptitude) in a kde konsole window, which
meant that the old sound system was being held on to by kde.
In the end, I got rid of my references in /etc/modules and /etc/devfs, dropped
into console mode and killed off kde
I then reran dpkg-reconfigure alsa-base again. I might even have had to
reboot to get the permissions in /dev/snd and /dev/sound set correctly, can't
exactly remember.
Anyway - all working now
