So far this has worked (at least partially - see below) with yamaha YMF-744 sound blaster live sound blaster 1371 I also have compiled for the Delta 1010 (ICE) but don't have all the utilities so I don't know if it is really working (might check it out a little more this weekend) I've mostly used the mixer (aumix) and PCM devices (playing MP3 files) with success. Because this seemed to work I did not even look to see if there were any error messages generated. The only thing I did before trying to use the devices was to look in /proc. If anyone has suggestions for how to easily test more devices quickly feel free to post some instructions and I'll post the results here. (I have some other HW I could test as well. gravis and others) Actually if anyone would care to help in putting together an automated test suite... I could justify spending time to work on it.
