I believe this is from before my fix for OPL3-SA2 non-modular was accepted. Try a more recent kernel - or if you can find a linux-sound archive my patch should be in it about 6 months back. > I'm sure the problem lies with IRQ's and DMA settings.

The sound makefile includes the module whether you select it or not, and it is not used (for one of mpu401/uart401 or whatever anyway). This is because the person who wrote the sound makefile only seems to think modular and includes both modules saying "it's only an extra module" when it gets linked into the kernel if you select it non-modular, it happens for a couple of sound drivers.
