Since oss works, I'd have to say there is a problem in the snd-intel8x0 that hasn't been resolved since at least 1.0.2.
I've also done some serious searching on google and it doesn't look like I'm the only person having a problem. There are hundreds of hits for alsa intel8x0 from people with trouble and no resolution.
