This is a good sign! It means that you soundcard is "touched" by the
module.

| modinfo cx8800

says this module is for your "cx2388x based TV card" ... and Im not shure
this is an error msg. But anyway I think your problem is that there are
no /dev/ devices created. Maybe you can do this manualy with

| cd /dev; sudo /sbin/MAKEDEV audio

and see what happens ... another thing you can do is unloading the cx8800
module and try reloading snd_ice1724. Oh and take a look at the output of

| dmesg |grep ice
