This sort of thing is a good reason to buy OSS/Linux (hi George!)
OSS/Free is incredibly messy when it comes to some sound cards. Before
I simplified my life by buying an SB16, I used a PAS16, which was messy
because it had the SB as well as the 16 bit PAS section, although it
wasn't too bad. But I had an MPU401 card as well to drive a wavetable
add on board. Then I had a Galaxy card, which was either SBPro
or WSS, more MPU401 complications etc. Whilst in OSS/Linux, you just
had to pick this card and it worked. The Galaxy has some weird soft
configuration stuff too. Even plain old SB16 requires setting
the MPU_IRQ to -1 or something, when menuconfig is working properly.
Frankly the free sound situation is pretty messy, and I'm almost angry.
