Sound has been working perfectly for me with 2.6.9 and earlier (custom kernel),
using ALSA (module is called snd_ali5451). I haven't tried 2.6.11 and later, as
those had serious framebuffer (and X11) problems on my machine.

If you want, I can give you my kernel config and/or deb, but I didn't do
anything special.

BTW: do you have a working framebuffer in 2.6.12? On my machine, I'm missing the
first character of every line, and some characters are messed up (if I remember
correctly).
