ALSA problem with PCTV card sound, please help!

I'm getting desperate now. I've tried everything I know to get ALSA to
work correctly with my joystick, tv card and soundcard together but
something gets f**ked up every time!
I've compiled my kernel (I'm using Gentoo) so that ALSA is external
because I got sick of doing kernel re-compiles when ALSA didn't work.
Currently my soundcard and joystick works but the sound on my PCI PCTV
card doesn't. The picture is perfect, I just don't get any sound. Gentoo
compiled the necessary modules, snd-ens1371 for sound card and snd-bt87x
for the TV, see below

I think I configured ALSA correctly

## IMPORTANT:
## You need to customise this section for your specific sound card(s)
## and then run `update-modules' command.
## Read alsa-driver's INSTALL file in /usr/share/doc for more info.

And I did do modules-update afterwards!

bash-2.05b$

So what is going on? Am I doing something wrong? I compiled the alsa
drivers into the kernel and they both worked correctly (shame
the same couldn't be said for the joystick) but outside of the kernel the
bt87x module seems to be ignored,

bash-2.05b# amixer -c 1
amixer: Mixer attach hw:1 error: No such device
bash-2.05b#

amixer -c 0 gives me the correct output for the ens1371 card.

Any guesses anyone because I've been trying for over a month to solve this
problem and I'm wondering if it is a ALSA bug. Sorry about the
cross-posting but desperate times call for desperate measures!
