I have a C-Media based card. What I have basically learned is that you
have to compile a custom kernel to get it to work. I compiled it in and
it works great now, but I could not get it to work under the debian
kernels. I use make-kpkg to compile kernels under debian and it couldnt
be easier. apt-get install kernel-package libncurses5-dev and apt-get
build-deps kernel-image and you should have everything you need.
