I believe that there is NO ALSA support for this card. There is a recent OSS
driver but we use ALSA.
There was another soundcard using this chip, the "pdplus". This has been taken
out of ALSA. I can give you pdplus.c but I do not know whether this will
help. Email me off list if you want it.
There is yet another soundcard which uses the same interface chip as the
es1968 and two cs4232 chips, the dman2044. This has no ALSA support and the
manufacturer neither still supports it nor will open the sources so someone
else can play with it. Pity--a decent card with a nice solid breakout box!
