Kernel Sound Drivers...

Greetings fellow Linux people. I currently am running Linux 2.1.88 and am
having no problems except for sound. My soundcard is not fully supported
in the kernel and I'm afraid it's because of it's PnP origins.

I have an IBM MWAVE card that came with this computer. The IBM MWAVE has a
modem, soundcard, and it looks like a WSS all on the same card. I had to
purchease a new external modem because the damn PnP modem didn't work
since it was a WinModem.

Using isapnptools, I've managed to get sound partially working. It seems
that I can play 8bit sound (i.e. quake, wavplay on 8bit samples, etc) but
16bit samples just produce a nasty static. Is this because the sb.o module
is using some limited SoundBlaster compatibility on the card or what?

I'd appreciate any suggestions anybody may have in getting this
multifunctioned PnP card to work.
