Hello,
impressive work indeed on the latest RC! I got pretty much all working... except audio.
The chipset seems to be correctly recognized, but there's no output. I attach some info of my installation, that I saw was previously requested in another post for a similar issue.
Thank you

Ok,
the solution was in this previous post:
http://vanilla.slitaz.org/index.php?p=/discussion/1160/solved-problem-with-sound-card-via-vt8237-module-snd_via82xx-duplicate-front-option
I had set some volumes on in amixer; then I had to raise the main volume and I managed to listen to sounds. Now when I restart the pc the settings in amixer turn back to 'off'. Now I'll try to understand ho to save those settings.

put your commands in
/etc/init.d/local.sh
then it will be executed whenever you boot your slitaz system

I tried to save those settings in /etc/init.d/local.sh, but it didn't work.
I managed to have functional volumes saving settings under ~.profile, which is fine for me as there's only one user (also with autologon).
And this is what I added to ~.profile:
...
amixer cset numid=9 on
amixer cset numid=24 on
amixer set Master 100%
amixer set Master unmute
...
The above id correspond to the following devices:
numid=9,iface=MIXER,name='Master Mono Playback Switch'
; type=BOOLEAN,access=rw------,values=1
: values=on
numid=24,iface=MIXER,name='PCM Playback Switch'
; type=BOOLEAN,access=rw------,values=1
: values=on
