Congratulations, you picked up one of the most complicated cards in 
Linux to configure. I'd recommend reading the info on alsa-project.org 
to get it up and running. You'll also need dome stuff from alsa-tools, 
alsa-firmware (although I think this got absorbed into another package 
during the last release cycle) and/or alsa-utils. Namely "hdsploader", 
which loads the firmware into the card, and "hdspmixer" which unmutes 
and sets levels for the card (it has not alsamixer interface). Another 
tip is to make sure it is in the first position in your alsa.conf. If 
all this is gibberish, then I even more strongly recommend looking at 
the ALSA docs, or at these two pages:

good luck,
derek
