The vt1708 "just works" with recent versions of linux kernels. On my
system it calls itself "SB" (soundblaster?)

> aplay -l
...
card 1: SB [HDA ATI SB], device 0: VT1708S Analog [VT1708S Analog]
  Subdevices: 2/2
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
  Subdevice #1: subdevice #1
card 1: SB [HDA ATI SB], device 1: VT1708S Digital [VT1708S Digital]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
...

For my particular ALSA usage where I wanted SPDIF output doubled w/
analog output, see "mythcd" and "mythtv" controlling card "SB" in
http://nielsmayer.com/npm/dot-asoundrc.txt

Also, some setups (like my ASUS_M4A78T-E mobo ) the vt1708S gives you
a additional HDMI device you may never use, yet it uses an interrupt
and an ALSA audio device.

##  1 [SB             ]: HDA-Intel - HDA ATI SB
##                       HDA ATI SB at 0xfb7f4000 irq 16
##  2 [HDMI           ]: HDA-Intel - HDA ATI HDMI
##                       HDA ATI HDMI at 0xfb9fc000 irq 19

It can be disabled (allowing some other ALSA device to be bound to
card slot 2)  with the following in /etc/modprobe.d/

alias snd-card-1 snd-hda-intel
#alias snd-card-2 snd-hda-intel
##
## disable HDMI device to conserve resources and interrupts
## 'modinfo -p snd-hda-intel' indicates this param will do the trick:
## enable:Enable Intel HD audio interface. (array of bool)
##
options snd-hda-intel index=1,2 enable=1,0
