Wouldn't this just be your IDE controller?  That is, nothing really to
do with your sound card at all.  It just looks to me like you have a new
IDE controller that the kernel doesn't have a special driver for (so
it's using the generic IDE one).

Do you have this device file there?  I recently spent a lot of time
getting my machine at uni running with it's sound card so I spent a lot
of time playing with /dev/sndstat and my experience was that if you had
*any* sort of sound stuff configured into your kernel at all then
/dev/sndstat would at least tell you something.  Maybe it's worth
(re-)creating the file?  You can probably just use '/sbin/MAKEDEV
audio'.
