I'm not sure if that is still the case, but i remember reading about kde
not using alsa directly, but using oss emulation.

Try adding the following, so compatibility symlinks for the oss
emulation are made:
REGISTER ^sound/dsp$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL mksymlink $devname dsp
REGISTER ^sound/mixer$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL mksymlink $devname mixer
REGISTER ^sound/mixer$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL mksymlink $devname mixer0

also, for direct alsa you need the following, since alsa-lib doesn't use
the devices in /dev/sound:

REGISTER ^snd/ PERMISSIONS -1.audio 0660
