That is basically what sndconfig does. I think it is GPLed software, so
I wonder why we don't have it as part of Debian?
BTW I did get it to work after some fiddling with the dependencies. It
did not as yet get the sound working on my system. I will try some other
things. I have never fooled around with the sound on this system (didn't
want it). It is now necessary and I am learning about the isapnptools. I
would appreciate any sage advice as the documentation is pretty sparse,
on what is the exact order to do things. My sound card support is
compiled in the kernel, and pnpdump does yield a /etc/isapnp.conf file.
I seems to find all of the pnp cards, sound and 2 modems installed.
