I've built a kernel with pnp and pcm support and have configured it so the pnp adjusts the card and the pcm driver finds it. Unfortunately it doesn't work.

However there seems to be very little control over the pcm driver in the system config (1 port, 1 irq, etc). > > Has anyone had any success with these boards or similiar? > For whatever reason, PnP sound cards seem to get assigned to the second audio device even if there isn't a first. I got mine to work by just relinking /dev/audio and /dev/dsp and perhaps a few others to /dev/audio1, /dev/dsp1, etc. -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- Brent Carithers Univ.
