(Bear with my language - no programmer or sound expert)
Kernel 2.5.5-pre1 + isapnp patch + readable /proc/asound patch gave a working dt0197h driver. But since the native OSS was broken (something with virt_to_bus_not_defined_use_pci_map) I had to go all ALSA with emulation. No entries in /etc/modules.conf, modprobe snd-pcm-oss (to use existing /dev structure, from what I've read, I think...), modprobe snd-dt0197h gives sound, but: The mute button in RealPlayer8 and the volume slider have absolutely no effect. And the physical button on my speakers just _slightly_ increase the volume (while increasing static). At the moment I have no other sound-handling program compiled (new Linux From Scratch system). The Diamond Technologies card is a piece of s... but volume has never been an issue.
