This is interesting as recently I tried to install a Yamaha Waveforce
192XG (chipset YMF-724E) under LM82, and I could run programs like xmms
and other sound utils, but no sound would be produced.  This is a card
that is supported in the kernel in native mode.....very baffling.  The
sound card is a known good card and works under other circumstances.

Even more confusing was that during the LM82 install routine the Yamaha
was detected as a YMF-724, which it is.  However after entering X no
sounds could ever be produced.

So I ended up replacing the Yamaha with my old faithful Aureal SuperQuad
8830 card, and everything started working.  However this time I was
using version 1.1.3 of the Aureal drivers off of Sourceforge.

So is there a functinal issue with drivers supplied with the kernel as
compared to drivers being supplied by third party programmers?  Don't
know.  But I wonder.
