I recently installed alsa 2.0 pre 5. I have a Synergy Vipermax aka GUS 
ViperMAX. I seem to be having problems installing it correctly. 
I have this in my conf.modules...

alias char-major-14 snd
alias snd-minor-oss-0 snd-gusextreme
alias snd-minor-oss-3 snd-pcm1-oss
alias snd-minor-oss-4 snd-pcm1-oss
alias snd-minor-oss-5 snd-pcm1-oss

alias snd-card-0 snd-gusextreme

options snd-gusextreme snd_index=1 snd_port=0x240 snd_irq1=11 snd_dma1=7 snd_irq
=5 snd_dma8=1

when I run modprobe snd-gusextreme i get this...

snd: GUS Extreme soundcard #1 not found at 0x240 or device busy
snd: GUS Extreme soundcard #2 not found or device busy
/lib/modules/2.0.35/misc/snd-gusextreme.o: init_module: Device or resource busy
snd: Device or resource busy

when i replace snd_port=0x240 with snd_port=0x220 <- base address for the 
ESS 1688, it works. I get this when i cat /dev/sndstat ....

Config options: 0

Installed drivers:

Gravis UltraSound Extreme at 0x220, irq 5&11, dma 1&7

What I want to know is, is this a problem? should there be an Audio device 
for the actual gus and not the ESS ?

also, how would i access the GF1 chip from a program such as xmp ?

thanks in advance
