Not to mention ensuring that the OSS compatibility modules, specificly snd-pcm-oss, were installed? I suspect that mpg123 uses the OSS sound setup by default. (Admittedly, if you're using devfs, the /dev/ entries won't exist unless you have the proper modules installed.) That said, I'm using an ASUS A7V8X motherboard which uses a Via VT8235 for sound, and it works for me. (At least, as long as I don't have the front panel audio connector attached to the ASUS iPanel, as that seems to cause the driver to lock up once the buffer is full for some reason. A bug I've already submitted to the ALSA people.) I have had occasional 'stuttering' problems, though nothing I can't live with. I will say that ALSA 0.9.0rc7 actually seems much worse than rc6 for this chipset for me, so you may want to drop back to rc6 for now.
