I have/had a similar problem with my via card.  This may not be the 
correct or perfect fix, but it works for me currently.

I do two things on startup

1.  chmod 666 /dev/dsp
2.  chmod 666 /dev/snd/*

Now that i look it at...one command woulda done the trick; but i added 
these two lines to my /etc/rc.local and i am able to play music and open 
my mixer now.
