Hi Luigi:

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. 
Yes, my cheap OPti-931 card also still works even with the AD1848 INIT
error at bootup. 

The problem turned out to be, that the pnp code is incorrectly assigning
irq 5 to this soundcard, and was thus conflicting with my sio3. When I
disabled sio3, the sound works just fine.  

Bernie
