yep, it is a pain in the butt.

sounds like you had a really fun time with that. ;)

I think if I was to compile another kernel with that card, i would
compile soundblaster and sound support into the kernel and use
that. Maybe you can find more info on that at:

/usr/src/linux/Documentation/sound/Soundblaster.txt

and perhaps this would work if it was compiled as a module:

modprobe sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=3 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x300


that's all i know!
