I have a SB AWE-32 PNP (does someone know: how I get my bios to set up pnp
properly? I have a PNP Bios, I think, but I need isapnptools. Why? I didn't
changed anything in my bios setup.)

Yes.

strange. I have sound in my modules, and it works just fine.
I compared my /dev/sndstat with yours, and they are nearly identical (i have
a wrong SB MPU-401 line, without an address specified and with irq 1. I have
to check this with the next kernel compile.)
BTW: How do you get this:

I have it not.
However, one thing I saw: I use kernel 2.0.29, you 2.0.30. Could this be the
reason?

At the moment, I'm puzzled. If you have more info, please mail, I'm
interested.
