okay, thanx for the trick

here is the output you ask for : 
<<

/usr/share/alsa/cards/Azalia.conf
/usr/share/alsa/cards/ICH4.conf
/usr/share/alsa/cards/ICH.conf
/usr/share/alsa/cards/NFORCE.conf
>>
, plus one extra output, under debian, tells what alsa package is install
in which version : 
<<

with this output, i can guess i am using alsa 1.0.8 (-7 is only a debian
revision add)

when i check my card : 
<<
$ cat /proc/asound/cards
0 [ICH6           ]: ICH4 - Intel ICH6
                     Intel ICH6 with STAC9750,51 at 0xdffffe00, irq 169
1 [Modem          ]: ICH-MODEM - Intel ICH Modem
                     Intel ICH Modem at 0xee00, irq 201
>>
i guess my card ICH6 should be managed by /usr/share/alsa/cards/ICH4.conf
file

i like debian because it aim to be stable, 
i won't install alsa-lib 109 now - i don't have time meanwhile i would
love to play with all that stuff

if you mind :)

my last ~/.asoundrc file
<<
ste@station:~$ cat /home/ste/.asoundrc

pcm.!dmix {
        type dmix

}

# ctl.mixer0 { type hw card 0 }

this is the only way i can make works : xmms, wmsoundserver, esd, artsd,
thunderbird notification sound

the last step i would love to would be to output a copy of my sound to a
special device in order to being able to record it without recording my
system sounds, but i would need to become an alsahacker, - around july
perhaps 

you can still ask me things if you like
see you

Yeah I'm afraid you may have to choose between stability and functionality
here.  Many, many dmix bugs have been fixed since ALSA 1.0.8.
