I'm having lots of problems trying to get alsa to work VIA VT8235 SB.

I've tried alsa-driver-0.9.0_rc6, alsa-driver-0.9.0_rc8, and yesterdays
cvs snapshot.

At first I was getting this error, when I tried using aplay to play a
.wav file:
ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:481:(snd_pcm_hw_drain) SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_DRAIN failed:
Input/output error

When I pass acpi=off pci=biosirq on the kernel line in grub.conf, alsa
doesn't give me any errors when I use aplay, but I still don't get any
sound.

I have unmuted the mixer and alsamixer correctly identifies my chipset.

I compiled my kernel with "Sound card support" as a module and no other
sound drivers.

I'm using devfs,and /dev/dsp is not being created and /dev/sound/ is
empty.

Here's some more info:
