I really hope there are just two different versions of PCI128 :-(
I have a SoundBlaster PCI128 with the es1370 chipset running
3.3-STABLE following the STABLE branch with 'cvsup'.
The relevant parts in the kernel configuration are

    controller      pnp0
    device pcm0 at isa? port ? tty irq 15 drq 1 flags 0x0
    controller      pci0                    # PCI bus support

(I changed the irq from 10 to 15, I have forgot why...)

I tried out that sound playing works using 'play', part of
the 'sox' program. I did

        % mixer vol 80
        % mixer pcm 80
        % play known_to_work_sound_file.aiff

I had to comment out two lines in the 'sox' package. I assume
this is because the 'pcm' and PCI128 support is still in
beta stage, not production code.

  oss.c:

    /*    if (ioctl(fileno(ft->fp), SNDCTL_DSP_SYNC, NULL) < 0) {
        fail("Unable to sync dsp");
    }
    */

I haven't tried recording yet so I don't know if that works.
