There is an intel820 driver, actually, but I never tried it.
I got it to work with (FVO "with" approaching "despite") debian
alsa packages...
If you want to give that a try, recompile your kernel with
sound support (but no drivers). Install alsaconf and
alsa-[source|utils] packages, and follow the instructions for
building the intel82x driver. Install the driver, edit /etc/alsa/0.9
and delete all options the driver's complaining about when you
modprobe snd-card-0. Don't forget to re-run update-modules after
each edit. When you get the module to load, make /etc/alsa/0.9
chattr +i, so that alsaconf doesn't crap all over it later.

Ask on debian-kde. I never bothered with KDE sounds, all I want is a
working CD player. Kcd (or whatever it's called) works for me.
