Not always true.  I have a Creative Labs AWE64 ISA PNP.  I use kernel
2.3.18ac10 and the built in isapnp routines.  I also compiled sound
support INTO the kernel and it works fine.  The kernel iaspnp inits the
card at bootup and then a few processes later the kernel sound finds the
card and it works fine.  

Then again, not everyone likes using bleeding edge kernels.
