I have a 'ASUS P5GPL-X SE' mainboard with this soundchip onboard.
'cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#0' says: Codec: "Analog Devices AD1986A"

I does play sounds but only one app can access the device.
I hear an annoying high frequecy peep while playing sounds.
The sound stops working as soon as I change the volume.

On the Gentoo-forums I found a trhread where people are complaining
about the same issues as I experience:
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-420628.html

I know this is OpenSource and I'm not demanding anything here, so
please, don't get me wrong. The point is that I have 6 computers
here who I needs to have up and running in 2 weeks, tops. Is there
any change this is going to be fixed soon? If not, I would like to
know. If that's the case I just order some cheap PCI-cards to replace
the onboard sound :)

Anyway, I would probaply be a lot easier if those companies would
be more open about their product. Notice the name of my mobo, it
has 'GPL' in it's name. How ironic.... :/

For mobos, try model=3stack rather than other models.
For laptops, either model=laptop or model=laptop-eapd might help better.

But, above all, you should use the latest ALSA version (for drivers and
lib).  Using older versions is simply a waste of time.
