Right. People, if you have the time please read and comment the document on PnP configuration that is in my sound code snapshot http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/snd970814.tgz (the file is sound/doc/pnp.ps.gz). I think this code could almost go into the source tree, with just a little more work (which I am doing at the moment). The PnP code does not harm if it finds a peripheral which is not supported, and it works if a peripheral is supported (yes it assumes a working PnP bios, but that problem will be overocme soon with a manual override mechanism).
