Laptop has Pentium Dual Core and Intel HD Audio Kernel is 2.6.20.3 compiled for Processor family Core2. In-kernel alsa drivers are 1.0.14rc3 (cat /proc/asound/version) and compile ok. In-kernel drivers do not work for this sound card.
Downloaded 1.0.14rc3 and applied patch_realtek.c ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-cards=hda-intel "make" gives the following error:
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.20.3'

If the kernel is compiled with Processor family = Pentium M, the external alsa drivers compile clean and the soundcard works.
So, Processor family = Core2 cannot be selected when using external alsa-driver-1.0.14rc3.
This should have been fixed on 1.0.14rc4. Give it a try.
