updating 0.9.0beta3 drivers to work with cs4205

[etienne <eyem@lalila.net>]

Hello,

I'm trying to get jmax running on a Dell Inspiron 8200 (P4)........ 
which has a  CS 4205 chip on it.

jmax only runs with alsa 0.9.0beta3........

The card-intel8x0.c code for 0.9.0beta3 only supports Intel,82801AA, 
Intel,82901AB, Intel,82801BA and Intel,MX440.
Later versions of 0.9.0 also support (amongst others) ICH3 and ICH4

..... my card is ICH3 ... so I did some copy and paste of code from 
newer 0.9.0 into the beta3 version of card-intel8x0.c

I compiled and installed, and finally, my card is recognised and loaded 
........ /var/log/messages outputs:
Jun 18 21:31:12 xenakis kernel: PCI: Found IRQ 11 for device 00:1f.5
Jun 18 21:31:12 xenakis kernel: PCI: Sharing IRQ 11 with 00:1f.6
Jun 18 21:31:12 xenakis kernel: PCI: Setting latency timer of device 
00:1f.5 to 64

HOWEVER! ... when I try to run aplay I get:
ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:579:(snd_pcm_hw_open_subdevice) 
SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_PVERSION failed: Invalid argument
aplay: main:442: audio open error: Invalid argument

So there are other things in other places that I also need to fix 
.................. does anyone know if this is going to be a tin of 
worms ? Am I in for a rediculous amount of changes ? .......... should I 
just buy a cheap PCMCIA card that is supported in alsa 0.9.0beta3, or am 
I close to getting it working ? (I've never played in driver code before 
so I'm worried I wont find a way out)

etienne
