kernel 2.6.29.5-2-rt seems to not recognize my soundcard

[Susan Cragin]

My soundcard is the indigoiox. It doesn't seem to be working properly, but I just bought it yesterday so it never has worked for me. 

Here's what I did. I downloaded and installed the 5-2 kernel from the repository, and rebooted. 

The card didn't work. It couldn't find the mixer. 

So I tried the workaround in Ubuntu sound problems, i.e. the following:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils alsa-source pulseaudio
sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r) module-assistant alsa-source
sudo dpkg-reconfigure alsa-source
sudo module-assistant a-i   alsa-source
reboot
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That didn't work either. 

Preferences / Sound / Devices / Sound Capture says the following:
Indigo IOx rev.0 (DSP56361) Indigo IOx (OSS) (Not connected)

I'm not sure what to make of the winecfg output. The card "Generic" may refer to my old Creative X-fi card.
The last line seems the most significant.
