Speaking of ESS1688 drivers....I don't know if anyone else has this
problem, but I've always believed that that card has to be the worse to
get to work in Linux. I have never had any luck with compiling the ESS
drivers and getting them to work.....They compile fine, but don't
work...the only thing that works is the SoundBlaster compatible. Does
anyone know why the ESS1688 option won't work for an ESS1688 card, at
least on my system, it don't?!
