In that case, you can build ALSA modules externally from alsa-driver tarball. Grab the snapshot version from ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/tiwai/snapshot/alsa-driver-snapshot.tar.gz
I did that - this version works well for me. Thanks for your efforts!
(There is a minor glitch persistent that wasn't existing with my older AC97 based hardware: When pausing an AC3 stream to the amplifier, then resuming the playback, there is a loud "click" in the beginning as if there was a broken data packet sent to the amplifier - but one with a correct checksum, that has to be, as otherwise, the amplifier would not have played it. Or maybe the amp is misinterpreting some AC3 data as being PCM, but that wasn't the case with the previous audio card, though the software and the amp were the same.)
