Alsa configuration is in /etc/modules.d/alsa 
It have several parts. Here is an example for 2 sound cards:

# ALSA portion
alias char-major-116 snd
# OSS/Free portion
alias char-major-14 soundcore

##  ALSA portion
alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1
options snd-emu10k1 index=0
alias snd-card-1 snd-usb-audio
options snd-usb-audio index=1

##  OSS/Free portion
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
alias sound-slot-1 snd-card-1

# OSS/Free portion - card #1
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
##  OSS/Free portion - card #2
alias sound-service-1-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-1-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-1-12 snd-pcm-oss
## If more sound cards, they need only 3 options like card #2

alias /dev/mixer snd-mixer-oss
alias /dev/dsp snd-pcm-oss
alias /dev/midi snd-seq-oss

# Set this to the correct number of cards.
options snd cards_limit=2

All this follow the guide line from alsa-configuration.txt in
alsa-driver's documentation or the kernel doc.

Do you have an ~/.asoundrc file? If so, try to move/rename it, restart alsa and
try again with alsaplayer.
