The problem is the CD-Audio slider is not present, like I said in my 
post. Not in alsamixer nor in aumix. In aumix it was present when I ran 
OSS. So the cable, etc. is like it was with OSS a week ago.

I found a post in Spanish: 
http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&threadm=3d8798f4_3%40news.arrakis.es&rnum=18&prev=/groups%3Fas_q%3Dalsa%2520cdaudio%26safe%3Dimages%26as_scoring%3Dd%26lr%3D%26num%3D100%26hl%3Den
that describes it and the guy went back to OSS. I won't. The answer is 
someplace. It isn't a bug because nobody talks about it.

Somehow Alsa has decided there is no cdaudio to be had.
I see no kernel config parms pointing to it.
Don't tell me I have to find their mailing list to find out :-(
