Intel 810 chipsets typically use the i810_audio.o module. I think that
module also needs ac97_codec.o and the usual sound.o and soundcore.o.

If I were buying new I would avoid onboard sound and video, but the IBM
works fine with BL3 and BL2 otherwise. The onboard video does run Xvesa
but only up to 1024/256 colors which is not suitable for our camera
(1280-16M) or playing DVDs even at 800x600, since it would have to reduce
colors and thus display more slowly.

Intel 810 video only uses 1M for video memory by default. To get more
colors, drop the resolution to 640x480x16. SW81 has XFree86 4.2.0,
which is a large X server, but it does allow you to increase the video
memory enough to get 1024 or 1280 with 24-bit color.
