Short answer:

	modprobe es1371

If that doesn't work, and es1371.o does not exist in your
/lib/modules/* tree for the kernel you are running, then you are
either in trouble, or this sound driver has been compiled into the
kernel itself (which is not recommended).

Long answer:

If you have a redhat box, simply run the sndconfig utility, which
puts an alias into /etc/modules.conf (or /etc/conf.modules) that
specifies an alias for the module.

On my redhat 7.0 box (with a 2.4.x kernel and the same sound card),
I have:

alias sound-slot-0	es1371

Other distributions might have different mechanisms for setting this
up.  The alias name is also different ("alias sound es1371", IIRC)
in earlier distributions (kernel version dependent).
