I don't have any USB stuff.  But during the 3.1.1 upgrade, I suddenly lost
all sound except for the bttv module (i.e., I had sound in xawtv, but not
with xmms, etc.).  When I loaded aumix, I only had two controls.

So I unloaded _all_ modules that had to do with sound and reloaded them,
but installing the normal sound modules first.  That fixed aumix.  Then I
loaded bttv (and associated modules) and saw that everything had sound.  I
also noticed the modules for sound and bttv-sound were loaded in reversed
order in lsmod.  Experimenting proved to me that the normal sound modules
must load first or the bttv-sound modules grab everything and normal sound
is unusable.

It's possible there's also a loading order needed with the USB sound
modules, but I have no way to test this.
