Well, I had the exact same error (with a different ISA soundcard) about modprobe
not finding isa-pnp. After some advice from here I gave up and installed the
card the old way and it worked (though sndconfig doesn't handle my card).
I suspect this is a problem with ISA soundcards in general. I can understand
not wanting to spend a lot of effort on support of a dying bus type, but
I really wish someone would fix this.
