bwh,
  I don't know that this will help you at all... and I'm a noob with small hardware... but I have ben able to get an ESS1689 running under DSL.  Mine is in a 10 year old Compaq laptop.  It might be worth a try for you as well.
  The console command that worked for me is:
 | Code Sample  |   modprobe sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x330
  |  
 
  I learned about it from this thread: Sound on es1869
  The key points are that you know what the BIOS settings for your card are.  I was lucky, I had reset the BIOS to factory settings before trying the above and my values all lined up exactly as the thread told.
  I hope this helps a little, John
