The card is an add-on, I think I may just buy a new one (this will be my third in three years though!) as $35 to get the driver could go towards a shiny new one. Does anyone have any recommendations? I need to have an optical out port working to use with my girlfriends minidisc.
Isn't that always the way? I think one of the newer SoundBlaster cards would work great. There are others. You may wish to check the RedHat hardware compatibility list to get a list of known-good sound cards.

This may be a stupid question, but is the sound card built into the motherboard or is it an add-on? I ask because the maker of your card went bankrupt a while back so further support would be questionable at best.
If it's built in, see if the BIOS allows you to disable it. If so, I'd do it and go get a new sound card. They're pretty cheap now and the odds of someone like SoundBlaster or Via going belly-up are far slimmer.
