It's not my first try. I abandoned before...

VIA proposes to first use a built in module. There even seems to be a 
compiled module (via82cxxx_audio.o) with SME6 - which does not work. 
Second, VIA's own compiled module - wrong kernel version, of course. Third 
compile ALSA. That's where I'm stuck right now.

That's what I finally did.

There's a kernel-2.4.20-18.7.src.rpm, but not a kernel-source-* on Sunsite 
UK.
