Summary:                    ens1371 pcm not work in 2.6.11 kernel
Description: 
I'm using FC3 and my Creative SB AudioPCI 64V sound card works fine in 
2.6.10-1.770_FC3 kernel. After I replaced the kernel to 2.6.11 from
kernel.org or 2.6.11-1.8_FC3 from redhat, there is no sound anymore. I
noticed that the 2.6.11 kernel uses alsa 1.0.8 driver, yet userspace
alsa-lib and utility in fc3 are 1.0.6. So I upgrade them to 1.0.8 too.
Still, there is no sound and alsamixer doesn't show any pcm option.
Fortunately, the 1.0.8 lib and utility backward compatible with 1.0.6
driver in 2.6.10 kernel, so they were kept. The sound card uses ens1371
kernel module. And my /etc/modprobe.conf is this:

alias snd-card-0 snd-ens1371
alias sound-slot-0 snd-ens1371
install snd-ens1371 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-ens1371 &&
/usr/sbin/alsactlrestore >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
remove snd-ens1371 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; };
/sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-ens1371
alias usb-controller uhci-hcd
alias net-pf-10 off
alias ipv6 off
alias eth0 8139too

It seems that the bug could be closed now.
I tried again this afternoon with the latest alsa driver, ver
1.0.11rc3,the speaker began to make noise which shoked me.
I compiled the driver with debug turned on and make , make
install-modules,reboot.
Then I found the command cat 18 8000 > ac97#0_0+regs worked.
I tried speaker-test,and my speaker blew with lound noise.
Now everything worked like a charm except the right channel volume was
much lower than left one.
I don't know how to fix it.
The only difference between my last two installation attempts was I issued
make install command instead of make install-modules. and of course the
with-debug full option at configure stage. I don't know which matters.
anyway, i have my sound card back again.

I've tested the latest alsa-1.0.11rc3 driver with official 2.6.15.2 kernel
in my fc4. It's still not work for me. Dmesg shows following message:
