via82cxxx_audio doesn't play audio?

[Erik Andersen]

I went out the other day and bought an Athlon to replace my aging
celeron 400.  I installed an Epox EP-8KHA+ with an Athlon XP 1600+.
The VIA 8233 Southbridge on the motherboard has builtin audio

    00:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. AC97 Audio Controller (rev 30)
	    Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 11
	    I/O ports at cc00 [size=256]
	    Capabilities: [c0] Power Management version 2

I have enabled CONFIG_SOUND_VIA82CXXX and CONFIG_MIDI_VIA82CXXX
in 2.4.16 and everything seems to be fine.  When I load the
modules I see this:

    Via 686a audio driver 1.9.1
    ac97_codec: AC97 Audio codec, id: 0x414c:0x4710 (ALC200/200P)
    via82cxxx: board #1 at 0xCC00, IRQ 11

When I go to play audio, no sound is produced.  The mixer works.
I can load up the bttv drivers and I actually hear audio from
xawtv (so tvaudio is doing something right behind the scenes).
But standard apps such as xmms produce no sound.  Does this
driver not work for anyone else?
