According to the help in 'make xconfig', you should do 'lspci -n' to see
if you've got the 1370 or the 1371.

1274:5000 = 1370, 1274:1371 = 1371

Unless you're already certain of the chipset you have.

That's the only thing that just jumps out at me, that the make docs don't
do much of a job of differentiating those, and maybe they can't. They do
mention that these two cards differ from the OSS/Free drivers.

Looking at /usr/src/linux/Documentation/sound/es1371: "/proc/sound and
/dev/sndstat is not supported by the
driver"

Do you have /dev/dsp? If so, try testing using the sox package.
http://sox.sourceforge.net/

There's also a command line proggy called "play" which comes with sox.
