You should be ok for now if all you want is playback. The recording code
is only available through cvs currently. That should change in the next
couple of weeks though.

So you need to load the module snd-usb-audio not the snd-via8233. Make
sure you have not got an oss sound module running first.
lsmod
rmmod ossmodulenamedx
Mark was only using snd-via8233 as a reference. Unfortunately it has
confused matters.
---- You also said that the modules have not been installed. Did you do all of these things in this order:su cp tarballs to /usr/local/src/ cd /usr/local/src untar alsa tarballs in that dir cd into alsa-driver ./configure --with-cards=usb-audio,usb-midi --with-sequencer=yes;make;make install ./snddevices <-- very important
cd ../alsa-lib
./configure --with-cards=usb-audio,usb-midi --with-sequencer=yes;make;make install
cd ../alsa-utils
./configure --with-cards=usb-audio,usb-midi --with-sequencer=yes;make;make install
now
modprobe snd-usb-audio;modprobe snd-pcm-oss;modprobe snd-mixer-oss
lsmod
If you missed any of the above steps (except lsmod) then you will have problems.
Also we still have not had confirmation that you have the kernel-headers package installed. As someone metioned earlier it would make things pretty much impossible to get a working alsa driver without the headers. ----
After you are sure that alsa is working then you need to get either alsaplayer or xmms from the website and install from source. They are both ./configure;make;make install so you will have as much/little trouble either way. The bonus of using xmms is that it has more people working on it so has better stability but you still have to get the cdda plugin seperately. With alsaplayer it only uses cdda to access the cdrom drive but you have to make your own cdtrks dir with files that represent each track on a cd then load them into the playlist like a normal file.
Unfortunately you have been mislead in someways and confused yourself in others. The good thing is you are showing remarkable progress. All of us have been through the same learning cycle at some stage with Linux audio or even just UNIX software.
