There is an alsa-user mailing list 
http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Mailing-lists

I've found part of the fun being that there isn't a clear mapping 
between what

cat /proc/asound/cards

shows and what modules are needed. The pcspkr module also added to the 
confusion.

I'd like a graphical front end a bit like alsaconf but geared towards 
handling multiple sound cards and letting the user pick which card 
should be default, even to the point of allowing a just-plugged in usb 
sound device (which may even be a web-cam's microphone) to become the 
default device while it's plugged in, and reverting to an on-board sound 
card when disconnected (if that's what the user wants).
