Strange. It works for me.

brian at square:~$ uname -r
2.6.17-11-generi
brian at square:~$ find /lib/modules/ -name via82cxxx_audio.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.17-10-generic/kernel/sound/oss/via82cxxx_audio.ko

brian at square:~$ sudo modprobe -v via82cxxx_audio
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.17-11-generic/kernel/sound/oss/ac97_codec.ko
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.17-11-generic/kernel/sound/oss/sound.ko
