There should be some sort of DOS based initialization program for your SoundScape
(mine was called ssinit.exe and is located in my \sndscape directory). By running
this program by itself it will allow you to configure the card for use with DOS,
and allow the settings on the card to be changed.
I would think even PnP cards stay pretty constant, but if you do not wish to
switch the card out of PnP mode (if your particular soundcard is PnP) and manually
configure its settings, you should look into using the ISAPNP tools for Linux.
When looking for the current settings in the .ini file, only trust the
sndscape.ini file that is in your WINDOWS directory (if you run the beast), the
one that you may find in your \sndscape directory (or whatever directory houses
the Sound Scape program files) is usually only used during DOS sessions or first
installation as a default template (if at all).
Yes, always use the regular settings. Do no compile your kernel with support for
anything else but the SoundScape (support for /dev/dsp and /dev/audio is ok to
include as well as General Midi support, and the subsidiary drivers). The only
problem I ever had using my SoundScape turned out to be that I was attempting to
have Linux use the settings for it's SB compatible mode and the driver did not
like this, but after turning off the SB emulation, everything was beautiful.
