Michael,

I managed to get my ESS card working with Sound Blaster Pro emulation
only. fm sound works ok but I didn't have any luck with the MPU midi
interface though. So it's 8-bit sound only unfortunately. I ended up
switching back to my old Sound Blaster 16.

I didn't have to do anything special. Just follow the handbook and
the LINT kernel. 

Good luck, Joel...
