Firstly, a PCI64 soundcard from creative labs uses the es1731.o module
which is supplied in the linux kernel source code and which is part of every
standardly installed distribution kernel, compiled as a module.
At least (as far as i know) kernels 2.0.36 <> 2.2.xx

Normaly one would have in /etc/modules.conf or conf.modules
alias sound es1371
For a PCI64 card, then issuing the command
modprobe es1731
should start the ball rolling.
Now if you have another type of PCI64 card made by anyone else the chances
are it will have the same chipset and therefor will use the same driver.
I suggest you read the appropriate file in
/usr/src/linux/Documantation/sound/
For more details and information on howto do it all.
