Okay, what's missing after running s-c-s and then stracing alsamixer...:

access("/etc/asound.conf", R_OK)        = -1 ENOENT (No such file or 
directory)
access("/root/.asoundrc", R_OK)         = -1 ENOENT (No such file or 
directory)
open("/dev/snd/controlC0", O_RDONLY)    = -1 ENODEV (No such device)
open("/dev/aloadC0", O_RDONLY)          = -1 ENOENT (No such file or 
directory)
open("/dev/snd/controlC0", O_RDWR)      = -1 ENODEV (No such device)
open("/dev/snd/controlC0", O_RDONLY)    = -1 ENODEV (No such device)
open("/dev/aloadC0", O_RDONLY)          = -1 ENOENT (No such file or 
directory)
open("/dev/snd/controlC0", O_RDWR)      = -1 ENODEV (No such device)

I'd assumed udev would've created these upon finding the device... any 
ideas?
