It's correct. Base address for GUS Extreme is base address for ES1688
chip.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Only first PCM device per card is show in this file (ALSA uses different
device structure). Don't use this file for info about ALSA devices. It is
only for OSS/Lite compatibility and isn't very much informational (I don't
know for which reason users send output from this file - we are working on
ALSA which have nice /proc/sound interface!!!). You can look to
/proc/sound/pcm which devices you have (or 'aplay -l').

No, ES1688 is PCM device 0, GF1 is PCM device 1 (available via /dev/adsp
interface - try 'mpg132 -a /dev/adsp <file>').

Yes, over /dev/adsp device.
