Unfortunately I am not sitting at my home machine right now. I compiled
the kernel with plug 'n play support. However, the wave table portion of
the card still requires isapnp. So I simply commented out the parts
dealing with sound in isapnp.conf and left the wave table stuff.

Everything is compiled as modules and I use the kernel autoloading of
modules. You can find more info on this in
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/sound/awe.txt. You need to be sure to pass
the modules their option settings in /etc/conf.modules 
ie. options sound io=0x200 irq=9 dma=1 etc

Hope this helps
