From your post, it appears that the kernel sees the card.  However, the
only time I have seen this error was when I didn't have the right driver
for my sound card.  Can you check again to make very sure you have the
right driver?  Maybe there is two that are really close or something.

These are the loaded sound modules. Can you see any conflict?

I believe that snd_hda_intel is the right driver for the card, though I'm not certain. The kernel seems to have known about these cards since version 2.6.26.2.

Maybe I should try removing all traces of OSS from the kernel.

Try this site:

That should tell you exactly what driver you are supposed to use. At least that way you are sure you have the right one.

I don't see any conflict but I'm not a sound card expert either. I just recall having that error a couple times. I had it once when I hadn't enabled the correct driver and once when I had two enabled that seemed to conflict with each other. It was a good while back tho.
Maybe that site will help.
