With OSS:
debian kernel: ad1848/cs4248 codec driver Copyright (C) by Hannu 
Savolainen 1993-1996

With Alsa:
debian kernel: ALSA device list:
debian kernel:   #0: CS4236 at 0x534, irq 5, dma 1&3

Submitted bug that Alsa does not play CD:
https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=625

Alsamixer does not show the CD-volume slider, neither does 
gnome-volume-control.
