I just have CONFIG_SOUND_ES1371=y in my kernel config. 

You should see something like this in /var/log/messages

jun  4 18:08:03 richeypc3 kernel: es1371: found chip, vendor id 0x1274
device id 0x5880 revision 0x02 
Jun  4 18:08:03 richeypc3 kernel: es1371:
found es1371 rev 2 at io 0xe400 irq 10 
Jun  4 18:08:03 richeypc3 kernel:
es1371: features: joystick 0x0 Jun  4 18:08:03 richeypc3 kernel:
ac97_codec: AC97 Audio codec, id: CRY20(Cirrus Logic CS4297A rev B)

The only I modify in /etc/devfsd.conf is

REGISTER        sound/.*     PERMISSIONS root.audio 666
REGISTER        snd/.*       PERMISSIONS root.audio 666

On the other hand, if you add your user to group audio (/etc/group),
this may not be necessary.

-> The number one gotcha is that linux likes mute sound by default
(bummer <frown>), so you need to have a mixer program installed.
