I actualy stumbled accross this. All the links are broken and the
dependancies that this old of a version of ALSA breaks makes SuSE a real
pain. I tried to locate the driver referanced but no luck.

Interesting thing. I decided to try Knoppix to see how it worked. Worked
great with sound. Pulled the module listing:
<snip>
Module                  Size  Used by    Not tainted
cs46xx                 56464   2
ac97_codec             11916   0  [cs46xx]
soundcore               3428   3  [cs46xx]

So differance being that their was both a cs46xx and ac97_codec

I found that if I load 'snd-cs46xx' driver I get the typical results
(just sits/hangs their when I test). If I then insert 'cs46xx' it also
loads 'ac97_codec' but results in the same. BUT if I remove all sound
modules, insert 'cs46xx' (loading 'ac97_codec' in the process then load
'snd-cs46xx' and test it I get sound working EXCEPT that it plays half
speed (aka you can hear the voice speaking but it sounds like they are
talking very slowly). 

Thoughts?
