Yes, this is normal for this card (I have one).
The problem is that this card has an AC97 codec as well as the higher
quality ice1712 code. The ALSA people haven't been able (or haven't
bothered) getting the AC97 codec working because they know people
don't by the card for the cheapo codec :-).
Its safe to ignore the message, the rest of the car works fine.
