As randolph pointed out, you need to "modprobe ad1889".
If that doesn't work, apt-get the kernel source and rebuild
with ad1889 if you are determined to have a go at it.

ad1889 driver "works" if you use a very low standard to define "working".
ad1889 only takes .wav format input at 48Khz. I forget the command
line for mpg321 to directed mpg321 to spew .wav format directly
at the /dev/audio device. And when playing mp3s, I wouldn't stress
the machine with other workloads while it's running.
