Yeah my sound is just not working period. Im running 2.6.3 and the
latest alsa-tools/utils in ~x86.

0000:00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corp. 82801EB AC'97
Audio Controller (rev 02)

This is a very well supported device in linux.

I was crusing the Changelog for the kernel and it seems that lots of the
AC'97 code in the snd-intel8x0 module has been moved into other parts of
the alsa code (to the ac97 main module, I think).

But I downgraded to 2.6.2 and discovered that the sound still did not
work.

I thought my motherboard had gone bad and I tested the sound ports with
a mulitmeter and it was at normal, non borked levels.

I have a suspicion that it is not the alsa drivers themeselves, but the
userspace tools for alsa that have not been updated.
