We got this working at LAC.  Did not have time to methodically debug it
(we ended up changing several kernel config options) but I think the
critical one was to enable CONFIG_ISAPNP.

Is it an ALSA bug that the driver compiled but failed silently if this
was missing?

IIRC, CONFIG_ISA sufficed in the earlier version, but this might have
been an incident that ISAPNP was (automatically) turned on.

In 2.6.17, even CONFIG_ISA is removed from the dependency of vxpocket
driver.  I've not checked whether really the driver works really
without CONFIG_ISA and CONFIG_ISAPNP.

If ISAPNP is still required in 2.6.17, you should report it to kernel
bugzilla or LKML.  I think the pcmcia controller side should have a
proper dependency on ISA or ISAPNP.
