Alsa update in mainline broke ATI-IXP sound driver

[Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>]

Since I updated an ATI x86-64 box to 2.6.17-git6 sound doesn't work anymore.

I just get

ALSA lib confmisc.c:672:(snd_func_card_driver) cannot find card '0'
ALSA lib conf.c:3493:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_card_driver returned error: No such device
ALSA lib confmisc.c:392:(snd_func_concat) error evaluating strings
ALSA lib conf.c:3493:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_concat returned error: No such device
ALSA lib confmisc.c:955:(snd_func_refer) error evaluating name
ALSA lib conf.c:3493:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_refer returned error: No such device
ALSA lib conf.c:3962:(snd_config_expand) Evaluate error: No such device
ALSA lib pcm.c:2099:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM default

no matter how often I try. OSS clients also don't seem to work.
(in older kernels it sometimes didn't work on first try after boot, now it doesn't work 
at all)

The module loaded ok:

I can't find any output from alsa in the kernel log except for


PCI: Enabling device 0000:00:14.5 (0000 -> 0002)
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:14.5[B] -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 217

when restarting rcalsasoudn

User land is from SUSE 10.0
