I have an ESS1868 too, and it's working. 
I don't use isapnp, since I'm using the default card
config.
My sb options are the following:
esstype=1868 io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=-1
To check these, just run the config program of the card from DOS.
What looks strange to me is "dma 1,3". Why two 8-bit dma channels ?
