I have no exerience with the driver, but I expect it should work like a
normal sound card...  Just don't expect any quality whatsoever.  I doubt
your cd's will sound anything like music, but I could be wrong.

Have you make the sound devices?  I think they are there by default in
debian, just in case, run, as root:

# cd /dev
# ./MAKEDEV audio
# ./MAKEDEV pcaudio

I'm not sure if you need both... The pcaudio are for the PC Speaker driver. 
Again, I have no experience with this.  Read docs for PC Speaker...

Also did you insmod the module (or did you compile it directly in?).
