alsa supports those chips, but I am not sure how reliable they are. I 
have never used them. I have seen a lot of IRQ problems (E.g. lost IRQs) 
with VIA chipsets lately, mainly due to linux not being able to program 
the VIA chipsets with the correct IRQ infomation.
If you can get reliable interrupts with that Motherboard, the alsa 
driver will work well.

Cheers
James
