Hi Larry,
It seems (I didn't prove it) the part of the parallel port in the kernel
has changed a lot from 2.0 to 2.2. (Tree modules instead of one.) I had
similarly problems and solved them by linking the code directly into the
kernel.
It seems also that the code doesn't support interrupts at the parallel
port. The program tunelp -i replys an error of ioctl.
Sorry, with SoundBlasters I don't have any experience.
Greetings
Albrecht
