I would post the source code of your current driver somewhere (URL).
If the set top box uses the AC97-Controller, alsa09 might already have a 
sound driver for it, but someone might need to add an extra bit of card 
recognition code to get it to work.
Also, if you can post to a URL any documents about the set-top-box, 
which would make it easier for people to help you. We might be able to 
recognise which of the current drivers is closest to it from that.
It would probably be better to get support for the set top box into the 
publically available version of alsa09, so that it will be kept up to 
date with any other changes which might happen in alsa without you 
having to worry about it.
