After reboot, modprobe snd-cs4232 give the usual error. Last 7 lines of dmesg : [4297869.345000] pnp: Device 00:10 activated.

Sure, thank you. But : do you think that manually debug at every start is a good thing ? Is it difficult to fix the pnp /sys/devices/pnp0/00:10/resources opened and automatize it ? >> I tested mplayer and that works, I can see divx ! And hear them.

I agree, so much of people throw their old hardware because the new windows is arrived... And Ubuntu or Mandrake, that are very popular for linux big public, require new (or more ridiculously overpowered) hardware. Idem for OpenOffice, Firefox, Gnome, KDE... This race to power do live the market of computers, necessary sometimes but not often. So, my reflexion is that developing tools and howtos for old (!) computers can help people, democratize informatic and help linux to grow.
