In article <m0xkQAr-0005FsC@revue.linux-kernel-lightning.swansea.linux.org.uk> you write:

I've got the same one, bought for 29,95DM (~20US$) from a cheapo retailstore.

No, it is mostly Soundblaster compatible. Use isapnp to configure it
and the normal sb driver:

sb.o io=whatever dma=whatever irq=whatever dma16=whatever

>> 2. ALS007 Logical Device 1 Internal Midi (OPL3) Device

The card works fine for me under W95 and Linux. (Although I only
used the 16bit output yet.)

I however do not recommend buying it. There is no internal amplifier
and the lineout is very noisy.
