Yes support for the VIA VT82C686A was just added into the pcm driver in
4.2RC1, so I thnk everything is just not quite working yet.
I have that chip on my mobo too, and did the same thing and after MAKEDEV
/dev/snd0 I ran XMMS. It played out only white noise.
So maybe just wait a bit for the improvement.  Or try mailing the pcm
driver authors?
