Bug#288005: acknowledged by developer (Re: [Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#288005: alsa-base: Unable to use cs4237b sound card with alsa)

[Alexander Toresson]

Yep, that's it. By looking at:

http://www.osmar.ee/draiverid/sound/crystal/CS4237B/CWDAUDIO.INF

I can see that CSC0003 is the mpu401 device, which my soundcard hasn't got.
The question is how to solve it.
