I don't have an ES1888 card, but...

,----[ kernel-source-2.4.7/Documentation/sound/ESS ]
| Documentation for the ESS AudioDrive chips
| 
| In 2.4 kernels the SoundBlaster driver not only tries to detect an ESS chip, it
| tries to detect the type of ESS chip too. The correct detection of the chip 
| doesn't always succeed however, so unless you use the kernel isapnp facilities
| (and you chip is pnp capable) the default behaviour is 2.0 behaviour which
| means: only detect ES688 and ES1688.
| 
| All ESS chips now have a recording level setting. This is a need-to-have for
| people who want to use their ESS for recording sound.
| 
| Every chip that's detected as a later-than-es1688 chip has a 6 bits logarithmic
| master volume control.
| 
| Every chip that's detected as a ES1887 now has Full Duplex support. Made a 
| little testprogram that shows that is works, haven't seen a real program that
| needs this however.
| 
| For ESS chips an additional parameter "esstype" can be specified. This controls
| the (auto) detection of the ESS chips. It can have 3 kinds of values:
| 
| -1   Act like 2.0 kernels: only detect ES688 or ES1688.
| 0	 Try to auto-detect the chip (may fail for ES1688)
| 688  The chip will be treated as  ES688
| 1688  ,,  ,,   ,,  ,,    ,,   ,, ES1688
| 1868  ,,  ,,   ,,  ,,    ,,   ,, ES1868
| 1869  ,,  ,,   ,,  ,,    ,,   ,, ES1869
| 1788  ,,  ,,   ,,  ,,    ,,   ,, ES1788
| 1887  ,,  ,,   ,,  ,,    ,,   ,, ES1887
| 1888  ,,  ,,   ,,  ,,    ,,   ,, ES1888
| 
| Because Full Duplex is supported for ES1887 you can specify a second DMA
| channel by specifying module parameter dma16. It can be one of: 0, 1, 3 or 5.
|

So...  It seems like you want the SoundBlaster driver (sb.o I think),
and maybe add an esstype parameter.

Of course, this is for kernel 2.4.  Anyone know about 2.2?
