Can you please try awesfx-0.5.0b
Worked some more on the problem, and found out that I had compiled ALSA as modules (M), but for some reason the kernel's menuconfig allowed me to include (Y) all OSS emulation related things (even both of them) into the kernel, when it should have forced either no (N) or modules (M). After that awesfx 0.4.4 worked fine.
