Do you have another soundcard in your PC? Sometimes it's clever to test some 
thing with any soundcard... I tell you this because it's difficult for a 
newbie to make echoaudio soundcards work.

Some days ago, a guy with 2 echo Laylas had too much problems to do it, but at 
least, he did it.

Yes, toyur SATA drives are not supported by the Multimedia Kernel from 
A/DeMuDi, I would suggest you to join the a/DeMuDi mailing list:

http://lists.agnula.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/users

And ask some one there how could you make this drives work with the multimedia 
kernel (i know that you don't want to re-compile your own kernel)

The kernel master Free Ekanayaka <free at agnula.org>, maybe know how to do it

That's the problem with the multimedia kernel

Oh, you tried with alsa-source?

That's all right, unless you dont want to be root forever

We will try to help you, but your configuration it's very hard to make it 
works, I think that the a/DeMuDi folks will have better answers for you
