I should have done that earlier. The alsa website actually said so. I simply 
forgot. Thanks for reminding me. Here comes the data:

lspci has this:
00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corp. 82801DB AC'97 Audio (rev 03)
Which is actually recognised correctly by alsaconf.

And dmesg contains dozens of identical lines like this one:
PCI: No IRQ known for interrupt pin B of device 00:1f.5. Please try using 
pci=biosirq.
ALSA intel8x0.c:2512: unable to grab IRQ 0

Any more ideas? Thanks!
