did you expect something from /dev/sndstat ? i've never used that ..
i also have a ES1371(or is it a 1370 ..) it is a SB PCI 128..using
kernel 2.2.18(self compiled and it works great. infact its by far
my favorite soundcard to use in linux..i wouldnt use anything else.
try something that actually plays a sound(xmms, mpg123, mpegtv, realplayer
etc)
it should work ..of course if your not in the right group and your
running as non root that won't work so be sure your in the right
group(audio i believe)
