I have one that I had to add the sbc device but the rest all worked with nothing more than "device pcm". Sound is much easier on 4.x because it is consistent there. You have to worry about pcm0 or pcm1 on 3.x. When you get the kernel made, installed, and reboot. The device shows up in dmesg. You make a device for /dev/snd? where the "? is the digit on the end of your pcm? device from your boot. I had to do a ./MAKEDEV snd0. When I finished I had sound.
