[PlanetCCRMA] Planet newbie EMI 2|6 usb audio cluelessness

I have the same setup, 2|6 and inspiron 5100.  The problem I think is
your modules.conf file.  Here's mine, the differences should be obvious.
Two cards = two sections, also note the cards_limit= line.

# --- BEGIN: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. ---
# --- ALSACONF verion 0.9.0 ---
alias char-major-116 snd
alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-slot-1 snd-card-1
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss

alias snd-card-1 snd-usb-audio
alias sound-service-1-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-1-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-1-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-1-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-1-12 snd-pcm-oss
options snd major=116 cards_limit=3
options snd-intel8x0 index=0
options snd-usb-audio index=1

Good luck,
