OSS Commercial and RH6.0, or PnP Sound

["Edward Marczak" <marczak usa net>]

List folk;

I've recently upgraded to RH 6.0 from 5.2.  I blew away my partitions and
installed from scratch.  Everything installed and has been running great.
Now I need my MP3 fix, so I downloaded an upgrade to OSS and installed it.

Well, it couldn't auto-detect my sound card (an on-board ESS1869).  I went
into BIOS and looked up the values for it.  Plugged them into OSS.  Nothing.
Bottom line: I can't get this to work for anything!

pnpdump doesn't find any cards.  I've also tried removing all extra cards
(e.g. SCSI) from my machine.  Nothing.

If anyone has any ideas, I love to hear them.  Before you ask, yes, I did
the Windows drill.  Installed Windows and the audio device is auto-detected
and works just fine.  Did something in the PCI or PnP setup change under
6.0?  Thanks!
