That looks OK on first sight, assuming you indeed have an intel8x0 card.

The kernel was compiled from source, obtained from ftp.kernel.org.
I began with the config file in /boot from vmlinuz-2.6.21-2-amd64 , and
edited with 'make xconfig' I still had sound after installing and booting
this kernel, although I had to use alsaconf to remove the sound modules,
followed by udevtrigger to install them.
attached in order is output from your three requests above,
lspci | egrep -i 'audio|s(ou)?nd|media'
00:0d.0 Multimedia audio controller: nVidia Corporation CK804 AC'97 Audio
Controller (rev a2)
AFAICT, snd_intel8x0 is indeed the correct driver for this card. If you
google for this lspci output you find a MEPIS page where they claim that
the card works without problems with this driver.
cat /dev/sndstat
cat /proc/asound/cards
That looks good, too: One audio device, one midi device, a timer, two
mixers. (Disclaimer: I have no experience with midi devices, but I don't
see why a midi device should interfere with your sound output.)
Trying to run speaker-test gives a series of errors of the form:
Alsa lib pcm_dmix.c:866:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
Playback open error: -16,Device or resource busy
OK, so some process might be blocking the sound devices; most probably a
sound daemon. (Are you running Gnome or KDE?) Post the output of this:
lsof -w | egrep 'snd|dsp'
Yes, I am running Gnome. The of output of running
lsof -w | egrep 'snd|dsp' is
esd 3912 russ 5w CHR 14,3
6406 /dev/dsp
My user name is 'russ', and I am a member of 'audio' group.
Thanks for your continued interest in helping me solve this.
