Marcus, I have an Ensoniq Soundscape which works fine (well not
completely - MIDI in is not supported). 
I am using a 2.0.33 kernel - the following are the sound configuration
options I use for my kernel compile (the option in caps is the one
used). Note that Microsoft Sound System support is set to no.
