/lib/modules/2.6.9-gentoo-r8/kernel/sound/isa/cs423x/snd-cs4236.ko

This could have several reasons:

1. It is the wrong driver.
2. The driver is already loaded in the kernel (unlikely, since you
haven't tried to build the ALSA-enabled kernel yet, have you?).
3. OSS-modules in the kernel (ALSA and OSS compete for your soundcard,
OSS wins 'cause it was there first)
4. OSS-support in the kernel (see above).

My best bet would be 1.

Karsten
