I had to alter /etc/modprobe.conf as follows as it didn't like the options
alias sound-slot-0 snd-via82xx
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias snd-card-0 snd-via82xx
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-11 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
####options snd-via82xx snd_ac97_clock=48000 snd_enable=1 snd_index=0
####options snd snd_cards_limit=1 snd_major=116
