What happens if you do a "/etc/rc.d/init.d/alsasound stop" and then
restart the driver? Does the driver get unloaded when you stop? Check
the loaded modules at that point to see if there is anything else there
that is sound related (/sbin/lsmod). I assume you tried the old trick of
cold rebooting the machine...

Some cards (can't remember which ones) need to have some firmware
downloaded but that should happen after snd-hdsp is successfully loaded
(after that you run "hdsploader", I think).

I don't know, but unlikely.
