Yeah, I've been told its poor form to answer ones own posts, but I got it.

1:  I nuked all the stuff in my modprobe.conf that matched the stuff 
in /etc/modprobe.d/*, but left those 6 lines that system-config-soundcard 
had written there before.

2:  I rebooted again and checked the stuff in /proc/asound, looked good to 
me, but what do I know.

3: system-config-soundcard still worked as I expected, no surprise there.

4: on running the kde control-center, Sound & whatever, sound,  I found a 
new multi-selector box that wasn't present before that allowed me to set 
the default device for kde.  It was set for the nvidia stuff, but could 
be changed to the Creative/Audigy system also, which I did,  and now it 
all works.
