Actually, S3 was pretty prompt in getting me some SonicVibes
documentation.  Unfortunately I haven't had time to get into the
specifics of how your driver is put together, but my goal is to get a
port to S3 SonicVibes RSN (ha ha).  This is a real priority for me,
since I have absolutely no sound under Linux (at least using my 2.1.99
kernel) until I get something written.

I have printed most of your sources so I can read through them and try
to figure out how to craft an S3 version...
