I think I have the same thing on one of my boxes - Mandrake 8.1,
2.4.14 kernel, alsa 0.9beta9 (I think), devfs enabled... and I have to
run gmix or kmix before I get the devices. I haven't delved deep
enough in the source of gmix, kmix, alsamixer, and amixer to determine
what the former two seem to be touching that the latter two will not.

Are you running the Enlightenment Sound Daemon (esd)? It has been
known to interfere with sound on Quake II. Try killing it before
running Quake II.
Hope this helps,
