Howdy again. :)

I have done a little more expirmentation with this sound card.  I had
done all the above, yesterday with no success.  :(  So I started to
look at the device driver for the es1370.  Playing with the probe
function, I noticed that it was looking for bytes like so:

#define ES1370_PCI_ID 0x50001274

What I was getting was:

#define ES1371_PCI_ID 0x13711274
