My memory is a bit rusty now, but I believe that the sound worked after 
I switched from the 2.4 to the 2.6.7 kernel.  I also passed 
"pci=noacpi" to the kernel at boot time, but I don't think this is what 
actually solved it.  In any case, I did get the sound card working 
without doing anything too complicated.  Sorry I didn't keep better 
notes than that.  If you do figure it out, a reply on-list may be 
helpful to others with the same problem.
Good luck!
