yes, the module name still consists of snd- prefix.
the snd_ prefix was dropped from the module OPTIONS.
(e.g. dxs_support would have been named as snd_dxs_support in the old
 versions.)

snd- prefix is for the module NAMES, but not for module OPTIONS.
again, there is no via82xx module.  there is only snd-via82xx module.
defining the options for via82xx is useless because options for a
non-existing module will be never referred.

this one is also useless.  remove it.
(snd-card-0 is just an alias, not the real module name.)

yes, in theory it should work.
that's why i asked you to make sure any other definitions exist.
there must be another error in the configuration.


BTW, i assume that are you using 2.4 kernel.  is it right?
