awe 64 gold sound card - help!

[Peter Jay Salzman <p@belial.ucdavis.edu>]

i have an awe64 gold sound card, and i'm having a heck of a time configuring
it.   part of the problem is that the instructions given in the debian
package seem to be out of date, and isapnp is a subject i know very little
about.

i followed the instructions to the letter, but am on shaky ground for:

   7b. Edit isapnp.conf file.  Comment out the appropriate
       lines containing desirable I/O ports, DMA and IRQs.
       Don't forget to enable (ACT Y) line.

   7c. Add two i/o ports (0xA20 and 0xE20) in WaveTable part.
       ex)
      (CONFIGURE CTL0048/58128 (LD 2
      #     ANSI string -->WaveTable<--
        (IO 0 (BASE 0x0620))
        (IO 1 (BASE 0x0A20))
        (IO 2 (BASE 0x0E20))
        (ACT Y)
      ))

   7d. Load the config file.
       CAUTION: This will reset all PnP cards!

first, it seems like EVERYTHING is commented out in the dump of pnpdump, so
i simply added the lines given in step 7c.  unfortunately, isapnp didn't
like them.  it complained:

	Don't know what to do with CONFIGURE CTL0048/58128 (LD 2 on or around line
	342 /etc/isapnp.conf:342 -- Fatal - Error occurred parsing config file --- no
	action taken

i can get the soundcard to work using the OSS commercial sound drivers, but
for some reason, they seem to be incompatible with quake 3, and the kernel
sound drivers work fine with it (this was when i was using the creative
PCI-128 sound card).

is there anyone out there with an awe64/awe32 who got it to work?  can
someone hold my hand through the configuration?

thanks!
