[mythtv-users] Problems with ALSA following Jarod's guide

I'm following Jarod's guide. Everything's fine until I try to check the 
sound with aplay. I happen to have the same card as Jarod (a 
soundblaster Audigy).

I get this message:

aplay: main:508: audio open error: No such device

However, modules are (I think) correctly installed:

There are no errors in the log files, modprobe works fine when I load 
emu10k.
The card is correctly detected:

[root at mythtv log]# lspci -v

Any suggestion? I'm running out of ideas.
Right now I'm recompiling the kernel (currently I'm using the rpm from 
Axel - so far followed Jarod's guide to the letter) hoping that there's 
a problem with Axel's rpm, but seems unlikely.

Thanks.
