Hi!

I have been using an ess1868 card for a long time, and it works well with
linux kernel 2.2.12. I don't remember the correct settings (i'm
working now and linux is on my home machine only) but I think you should
use the sound blaster module. Since this is an PNP card, you should adjust
/etc/isapnp... on your machine, and you have to add the correct irq and
dma settings when loading the sb module.
