The agpgart modules is used so programs can access the video card on the AGP bus. I haven't seen the alsa modules get automatically compiled before, so that must be something specific to Slackware. Like I said, my idea probably wasn't helpful but I had to ask just in case. I have another idea which probably won't be helpful either. In the past with my older sound cards and earlier Alsa, I remember an option to tell the driver to reserve DMA in low memory. Don't know what card you have or if the option has changed, but it might be something to look for in the docs for the alsa drivers. Good luck figuring it out.
