Integrated sound / ALSA / New Hardware

Hello d-u,
 
I recently moved an installation to a new box, which has integrated audio. 
Specifically, from lspci:
 
0000:00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corp. 82801BA/BAM AC'97 Audio (rev 01)
 
A bit of googling shows what module to use (ac97_codec).  However, the system says that /dev/dsp (which is linked to /dev/dsp0) is not a device.  Something as trivial as:
 
[root@lenore]*[~]$ cat /etc/passwd > /dev/dsp0
bash: /dev/dsp0: No such device
fails.  So naturally, alsaconf cannot find the device, either.  But it is there, and worked under a previous installation.  I'm fairly certain I have a broken alsa installation, as this machine's sound quit working before, when using a different card.
 
Should I not be using alsa?

Any help would be greatly appreciated; my fiancee is getting antsy not having any sound. :p
