Thanks alot for the clear advice. Unfortunately none of those made a
jot of difference, and nor did trying the other most obvious
candidates from the models list.
I found the motherboard model this soundcard is attached to online;
http://www.gigabyte.tw/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4091#sp - and
it does indeed list it as a Realtek ALC887 High Definition Audio
device.
I suppose I could try the external Realtek driver pointed to from
the 'Alternative Method' section of the Alsa wiki page, but as I
mentioned earlier I'd far rather find a proper solution to the
problem (particularly because I want to use a fully mainline or
debian-maintained kernel).
Anybody have any other suggestions?
