In my Valhalla days ( when i was using Redhat 7.3 ) i remember there was a
programm called sndconfig . Back then i had a Mad 16 pro soundcard .
I recall that in order to be able to use it  under linux i had to boot 
to windows pick up
the settings ( I/O port , DMA Channel , ..one more thing that i can't 
recall ) supply
them to sndconfig under linux and there it was .
Do you think that something similar could work for Vijaykumar ?
