Being wholley unfamiliar with this device, I would suggest
loading snd_driver.ko (I think)*  at boot and then seeing
a) if anything works and
b) if the output of
hostname# tail /dev/sndstat
is enlightening.**

*If I am not mangling something, this should load all
of the available sound related modules.

**dmesg -a | grep pcm (or perhaps . . . | grep snd) as well.
