Posted on the list a while ago.
No warranties and no clue why it worked on Warthy and doesn't on Hoary.
Let me know if it did help.

Hi

I found a good soul somewhere on the net who solved the problem

1. copy the below and save to /etc/init.d/sound
------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
#soundscript

case $1 in

start)
echo "Start sound ..."
/sbin/modprobe ad1848
/sbin/modprobe uart401
/sbin/modprobe cs4232
;;

stop)
echo "Stop sound ..."
rmmod cs4232
rmmod uart401
rmmod ad1848
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop}"
exit 1
;;

esac
exit 0
------------------------------------------

2. copy the below and copy to /etc/modutils/sound
------------------------------
alias sound-slot-0 cs4232
alias sound-service-0-3 cs4232
alias sound-service-0-0 cs4232
options sound dmabuf=1
options cs4232 io=0x530 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=0 isapnp=0 \
mpuio=0x330 mpuirq=5 \
synthio=0x338 synthirq=9
options opl3 io=0x388
options wavefront io=0x338 irq=9
------------------------------------------

3. delete from /etc/modutils all sndconfig, alsa-base, etc
4. run updates-modules
5. softlink /etc/init.d/sound to S79sound in all /etc/rc[2-5].d 
directories. I have also delete all the S20alsa links.

Sound works, but I still have problems in controlling the volume with 
the mixer. Stragely enough it works ok with xmms (esd output), but not 
with mplayer. At least it is a step forward ...

Let me know if it did help
