I thought you had a different problem -- i.e. get a better quality
audio card and support for music apps (i.e. wavetable etc.) compared
to the ISA models. On this i cannot work for lack of time and interest.

Now when and if the supported ISA cards will disappear from the market
we will have a (different) problem which will definitely interest me
more.

However, it's the same situation all the time -- no drivers without
specs -- i don't have a crystal sphere to guess what a device does
looking at it from the outside.
