No... I haven't recompiled a kernel in a long time... I'm not partial to
kernel compiling... more often than not I've broken things that should
never have been broken.. =) OSS worked stock under Mandrake and SuSE, so
that seemed the easiest solution, but sndconfig also worked under Mandrake
with a PNP SB16 ISA card, which is why I tried it with this non-PNP true
SB-Pro ISA card and it doesn't seem to like it very much.
