I've been able to set up sound on my i7k using Redhat 5.1. I had to rebuild
the kernel to get the SBPro sound support working.
The key I think is that I use LOADLIN to boot linux instead of lilo. LOADLIN
loads after DOS, so at the point when linux boots, the ESS driver has
already been loaded.
I haven't done extensive testing yet (got it working late last night), but
cat foo.au > /dev/audio worked fine.
