I had a problem with this for a while.  The way I got it to work was to 
compile the sun audio support into the kernel and compile the cs4231 as 
a module.  Aslo make sure you dont have sound card support compiled in 
as with that compiled in it doesnt work.  Also you may want to make the 
switch to devfs as it is better in my opinion.

lots of luck
