This is seriously weird... the modprobe snd-cs4236 works...
gt root # lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by    Tainted: P 
snd-cs4236             19808   0  (unused)

but I can't find a mixer to work they either report that the ALSA driver 
was not found, or that it cant find a mixer.
if I try and use esdplay it cant find /dev.dsp, if I try aplay:

454 gt bimble $ aplay  /usr/lib/bx/wav/notify_ZnO.wav
Aplay: version 0.5.10 by Jaroslav Kysela <perex@suse.cz>
Error: unable to obtain longname: No such device

I suspect it's something stupidly simple... anyone care to give me a hint?
