Hotplug or discover loaded the OSS drivers first. Update to the latest
hotplug version, which blacklists the oss drivers automatically, and
blacklist the OSS drivers for discover manually. Or remove discover, if
you don't need it.

alsa is a virtual package provided by alsa-base. Also install alsa-utils
and alsa-oss, it they are not already installed.

The card cannot be found because the ALSA drivers cannot claim it. You
have to make sure that the OSS drivers are not loaded. Also
remove /etc/modprobe.conf. Make sure you have /etc/modprobe.d/sound
with alias entries for your cards.
