Good question. I have now SB AWE 64 at work in my machine, so I can port
some SB code from OSS driver next week or if you shouldn't write all code
alone. Have you some documents about programming of your soundcard? If
native mode of your soundcard is mostly different than SB, you should make
code new separated (as I made for example for ESS AudioDrive ES1688 chip).
