Hmmm. Replying to self.

I have been playing some more. Based on the following page i changed the
alsa settings via /etc/asound.conf, /etc/modprobe and etc/modprobe.d.
The basic priciple is that i load he driver for the 'Live' card first
and then i force alsa to make it card 0 (see listing of the
/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base below if interested.)

The effect is that Crossover pro 6.2 on my Mandriva 2008.0 system (yes
bleeding edge!) stubbornly keeps pointing to my onboard sound if i
choose alsa (!) as the sound system. But at last if i choose OSS it
picks up the 'Live' card. Not what i like (i prefer to keep everything
alsa only due to the OSS problems with an occupied /dev/dsp device!).

Given the fact that i point alsa to see the 'Live' card as card0 this is
also something where Xover (wine) is erroring out. Now i have
support-time left for Xover pro so maybe i ahould enter this as a bug.
