Crystal CS4236B-104 with ALSA?

[Peter Hugosson-Miller <pehu@im.se>]

Has anybody managed to get the above sound chip working under 
Debian 2.2, using ALSA?

I've browsed the alsa-user@alsa-project.org archives for two
hours now. Plenty of people have had problems, nobody has
posted with a solution. Perhaps they've solved their own
problems, and not bothered to report back to the list?

I won't bother with posting my symptoms, they are identical
with most of the posts in the archive, concerning this chip. 
I'm not even sure if it is supposed to work at all ;-)

Any success story gratefully received!
