I would've expected Ubuntu to have all you need already installed... Including gstreamer.

If Ubuntu didn't detect it the first time, it probably doesn't have a driver.

Have oyu tried manually selecting the correct driver?
Just because it doesn't detect it it doesn't mean it doesn't have a driver.

Try running 'autoconf' as root.

Jack, check the output of /proc/pci [ cat /proc/pci ] to find out which model you have.
Then refer to the ALSA webpage for Yamaha that PP gave you a link to.

There should be a group called 'audio' (or maybe 'sound'). Adding them to that group should work.

Damn I overlooked the groups at the beginning...
