It looks like you should have sound.  Alsa is recognizing your card and 
loading the driver.

You could upgrade to alsa 1.0.17.RC2 to see if that helps.
You could try sending parameters to the driver load (3-stack, 6-stack, 
etc.) to see if that helps.

Also try aplay -D plughw:0,0  some.wav to see if there is any sound.

Are you running any sound servers?  They can interfere if the rest of 
the system isn't compatible with them.

Maybe someone else here knows exactly what is wrong.
