Hi,
I realize this doesn't help much, but my wife has an Ensoniq PCI128
using the ES1371 driver and it works fine. I've been compiling sound
into the kernel, not module, with 2.0.36-2.2.17 and windows. It's a
Pentium 133, and we don't play the above games, but it works fine on
windows directx games and minor linux stuff - never choppy.
All this really means is the linux driver does a good job at what it was
intended to do.
