You need: pnp0 pcm0 in your kernel and that should about do it. Keep in mind you must do this before the card will appear to "work": cd /dev sh MAKEDEV snd1 # NOT snd0 as you might think then do mixer vol pcm 40 (or whatever volume won't blow out your speakers :) by default, this card's channels are all turned to 0 volume at power up, so even if the device probes and is "working" you can't hear crap unless you turn the volume up. I've had limited success with the OSS drivers from 4front. The last time I tried them, they worked like a charm except for the fact that xmms wouldn't run, so I ditched them in favor of the pcm0 driver again.
