Ah, I had installed libs instead of the driver.  Thanks.  Things are
getting better now, speaker-test works, though no other applications make
sounds.  Alsamixer is unmuted and properly controls the sound levels
during the speaker-test.  

Seems like this is no longer an alsa issue, thanks very much for your
help.  Any additional hints on getting sound from other applications (like
cd player, or games, or gnome volume slider, etc.) would be appreciated.

/usr/sbin/system-config-soundcard still reports "No Soundcards were
detected."

By fiddling with enough things that I read about on the web I have managed
to get everything working at this point.  

Thanks again for your assistance.

Notes for future readers:

Desktop & game noises started working after running the test in
Preferences->More Preferences->Multimedia System Selector.  I don't know
why.

This computer does not ship with an analog audio connection to the CD
drive, the Gnome CD player requires this.  I loaded XMMS and XMMS-cdread
to get a CD player working.  Use cd-rom drive (/dev/cdrom1) instead of
burner drive which would skip regularily as it spun up and down in speed.
