Hi,
http://www.opensound.com/osshw.html
suggests that there is a free(?) OSS beta driver available
for your card:
...
ESS ES1968 Plug and Play AudioDrive
ESS Maestro-1 PCI *BETA. See README.MAestro*
ESS Maestro-2 PCI *NOT SUPPORTED YET*
ESS Solo-1 PCI *BETA. See README.Solo-1*
...
So you may have a look at www.opensound.com.
There is some evidence that the laptop that a colleague has
bought recently, is an Acer clone. So if you succeed installing
the sound card, I would be happy if you could drop me a note
which I will forward to him.
Regards, Thomas
