Quoting John Harding <johnh AT kuberaconsulting.com>:
Hi all,

This has been a long term problem for me: Getting my Logitech Wingman
Extreme Digital 3D joystick to work with my als4000 based sound card on
linux.

The bottom line can be summarized: I don't have a functioning joystick
on this box with linux, but when Windows 98 or 2000 is installed on this
box with all the same hardware, the joystick works perfectly. Since
windows otherwise sucks, I want this to run on linux. Side note: alsa list hasn't been helpful.

I'm using 2.6.12-rc4-mm2 which has alsa 1.0.9rc3, I'm using devel
sorcery and test grimoire, if that matters. I load modules for als4000,
gameport, joydev, ns558, and adi (the Logitech digital joystick driver).
I'm not sure if ns558 is needed because this is a digital joystick.

I set "options snd-als4000 joystick_port=1" (without quotes) in
modprobe.conf to turn on the als4000 joystick/gameport.
<snip>

Have you tried KDE or a game that has joystick configuration tools? I
haven't used a joystick since 1998 with Wing Commander IV. ;)
