The es1370 driver doesn't support some sample formats; that could
be the problem here.

The PCI drivers (ES1370/ES1371/S3 Sonicvibes) don't support the
/dev/sndstat interface; therefore, nothing will show up there.

The es1370/es1371 don't actually support hardware wavetable; it's
done in the drivers on the Windows side.
