Just for future reference. I downloaded the ALSA 9.0 RC6 package, but did not yet install it. But yesterday evening when I was playing with the Mandrake Control Centre again, I changed to the OSS driver for the Via chip and also disabled ALSA at boot. This morning when I started up the computer there was sound. So the solution was to use the OSS driver instead of the ALSA one.
The next challenge will be ACPI.
