Hey Dan,

I managed to get the sound going with alsa, with the same motheboard.
I sort of used the instructions from this site as a guide.

http://www.linuxorbit.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Sections&file=index&req=viewarticle&artid=541&page=1

I have a custom kernel and am using packages from unstable. 
i got the alsa-source package, and built the alsa module from that.

Then I also got the alsa-base, alsa-utils as well. 

There was a gnome alsamixer package as well

Fairly straightforward, and it works
although the sound is a bit scratchy at the moment, maybe playing around
with the mixer will fix it up.
