You forgot to mention your os specs: distro, release number, patches etc....
AFAIK, 2.6.17 comes with alsa 1.0.11rc4 + some fixes, not 1.0.11 final release
See http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.17 and search for the string "1.0.1"
Knowing your os specs could help guessing....

BTW (for developers): are there particular reasons why final 2.6.17 contains yet the rc4 release and not the 1.0.11 final, released about two months ago? Technical, people too busy, difficluties in synchronizing branches or other reasons? If the problem depends on not enough time/people to test against new versions before going to release, I could give my (little) help or eventually a page on alsa web site could produce useful effects. Probably to have kernel and alsa in better sync could help generally.
I don't know exactly the internals of alsa/kernel syncing so excuse me in advance if my thoughts are trivial.

Thanks in advance,
Gianluca

I have been trying to get the sound working on my
Asus A8N-VM MB
the chip is a AD1986A, which according to posts on google and on the nvnews website should be supported by alsa 1.0.11 and the 2.6.17 kernel.
Using the Alsa method I install the driver and the utils package and then run alsaconf, this advises me that I have a hda-intel Nvidia MCP-51 High Definition Audio (rev 2a) which I select and then let the alsa util modify the alsa file in modules.d/alsa
when the alsaconf tries to run the init script it errors with hda-intel: no codecs found!
I have tried forcing the model by appending the line options snd-hda-intel model=AD1986A
again I get the error above.
below is my alsa file
Code:

#ALSA portion
alias char-major-116 snd
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
# module options should go here
options snd-hda-intel model=AD1986A

# OSS/Free portion

# card #1

# --- BEGIN: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. ---
# --- ALSACONF version 1.0.11 ---
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel
# --- END: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. ---
and this is the output from lspci -vv

Any and all help would be appreciated
