Remember that the audio hardware is made up from two parts:
 - AC97 chip
 - codec chip
 
Even if you have the driver for one part, you still need another one for the 
other.

According to alsa:

"Card: Intel 82801AA-ICH
|| Chip: SigmaTel STAC9700,83,84"

and according to lspci -vv:

"00:05.0 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801AA AC'97
Audio (rev

        Subsystem: Intel Corporation Unknown device 0000

        Latency: 64

I stand to be corrected, but I don't believe the sigmatel chips
existed back in the day of 98 yet, and they definitely didn't exist in
the day of nt4.
