 You'll find, once you get it working, that the OPTi chip set will
be configured in Microsoft Sound System (MSS) mode.   My experience
with this was that MSS wasn't the best set-up to use - it often
generated spurious clicks and other noises.

 After hacking on it for about a month, trying to get things to
come up in, automatically, in sound-blaster mode (which works
much better) - I gave up and spend $80.00 (US) on a new sound-blaster
card...  well worth the money.
