I can verify that the cvs version works for me, I saw Oops errors when using
2.1.120pre-patches and 0.2.0pre6 .. With the OSSFree modules in
2.1.120-final for some reason my midi works, but most apps that use the dsp
device bomb out (oddly enough x11amp has always worked, be it with
0.2.0pre6's oss emulation, or with the currently somewhat broken OSSFree
modules).  So for now I'm using the alsa stuff, and living with out midi
sequencing.

Been wondering if anybody has plans to work on drivers for the Vortex Aureal
A3d cards (recently purchased a turtle beach montego card, since I fried my
tropez+ :( (incidentally, Paul's drivers worked wonderfully for me, I highly
reccomend trying them out to anybody that has one of those cards)), since
right now I'm only using the sb16 until the OSS drivers are ready for the
Vortex cards.

Two small changes I had to make to the alsa-driver files to get things happy
on my box, since I don't keep my current kernel source underneath
/usr/src/linux and don't have /usr/include/* links to them, I had to make a
small change to the configure script, changing '#include <linux/autoconf.h>'
to '#include "$SNDCFG_KERNELDIR/include/linux/autoconf.h"' to properly
detect the presence of CONFIG_MODVERSIONS.  And since there seem to be
conflicts between the kernel's time.h and /usr/include/sys/time.h, I had to
comment out the '#include <sys/time.h>' in include/seq.h and everything
seems fine..

In any case things look quite promising, I look forward to seeing what comes
out of this in the future.
