[alsa-devel] CS5530 on Geode GX1 won't work

[georg]

Hello

As Alsa-User mailinglist could not help, I hopefully sent my mail to this list 
now.

I am playing around, trying to get this sound card working for a while now. 

The Hardware is an embedded Geode GX1. Kernel is vanilla 2.6.25.9.

Problem:

No one is using the sound device. But strace shows error 'Device or resource 
busy'. The thing that confuses me is the output of 'aplay -L'...

Any help is appreciated :-)...
