Here I would like to say something. I have posted this already. I made
this card work under OSS as Creative Ensoniq PCI Audio 128. Now I know OSS
is commercial driver and is no permanent solution. But ALSA does support
Creative Ensoniq. So ALSA *should* be able to play it.
I gave it a try and was unsuccessful. It said resource busy or something
like that. But I remember I did not set the IRQ reported by BIOS on POST
screen. I was using one reported by OSS drivers and /proc/interuppts. That
might make difference. But I did not get time to work around it..
Somebody who has enough time to hack should think this as a solution.
I believe it will be simplest solution available...
