In trying some similar things myself, some other issues came to light.
When you apt-get the gcc, g++, and make files.. you get version 3.3 It seems that the kernel and sources were made with versions gcc 2.95, which complicates things , and creates a minimum of a lot of error messages. Many things just don't like it...
I would follow cbagger01's advice, and first search for alternatives to DSL that support your sound chipset .. like another mini-knoppix..
He suggested using the knoppix disc to see that alsa even works with it.. Good Idea....
You could easly get another soundcard for your box, disable the i810 in your bios, and live happily ever after ...
Does anyone know if there will ever be a "ndiswrapper" for sound cards that want windows drivers , like we have now for modems and ethernet cards ?
If AMD, NVidia, Via, Adaptec, etc... can design hardware that works with linux.. WTF does "Intel" have in mind, and WHO is footing the bill for their R&D ??
