I had a problem like this on the PWS500 (which uses snd-es18xx).  The
solution was to pass only (you could probably specify the port, irq,
and dma, but it wasn't required) the isapnp=0 option.

Maybe experimenting with isapnp=0 could produce some results for the
snd-ad1848 module as well.

PS:  For anyone trying to use the snd-es18xx driver, there is a patch you
have (possibly had -- haven't checked recently) to apply to stop it from
doing endless loopbacks when playing sound.
