Mine doesn't. I guess my Gentoo kernel must have received some patch:
flash mark $ cat /proc/asound/cards
0 [IXP ]: ATIIXP - ATI IXP
ATI IXP rev 0 at 0xe8003000, irq 5
flash mark $ uname -a
Linux flash 2.6.8-gentoo-r2 #3 Fri Aug 27 11:05:03 PDT 2004 i686 Mobile
Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.06GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
flash mark $
