Firstly, other driver may work well or even beter than another driver, but
the a common problem is that when one has no experiance of how his souncard
works or even getting it to work with the kernel driver then they will find
it very difficlut to get a standalone module to work.
I dont want to sound like a school teacher but, it seems to me like you
have not read the documentation properly or you dont understand it
properly, it states quite spesificly the difference between a ISAPNP card
and a PCI card, what you are doing is getting the 2 mixed up.
You dont need ISAPnP with a PCI card.
You dont have the GTK libs or header files installed on your system.
Does your card work with the kernel es1371.o module ?
Most distributions have it compiled in module form in thier distribution
kernel, that should work, try that first.

It normaly means you must load a parent module before that one as those
symbols are possably related in another module.
The Kernel es1371.o needs soundcore.o
