I'm still here. That's what I get for volunteering right before my
company moved from one building to another :) Nothing like (almost) 36
hours of straight network building, and tons of moving and confusion.
Whee!

Anyway, now that I've recovered and such, I am actively working on the
user documentation, of which a first draft is about half done, and
should be done this weekend. 

However, I need some help here. I only have access to a few different
cards (2 Gravis Ultrasounds, a CS4236 laptop, and a couple others. It
would be extremely helpful if people could send me sucess/failure
stories for different brands of cards/chipsets. If you do, please
include the following:

- Manufacturer of card
- Chipset info (if known)
- Copy of your conf.modules, or the modprobe line you use to install
the 	driver.
- IRQ and/or DMA settings that your card uses (especially for embedded
sound  chipsets)
-Applications you have gotten to work
-Applications that do not work
- If using a distribution other than Redhat, your boot script that loads
the kernel drivers.
- Any note, tips, or tricks you had to use to configure your driver.
- Features that work/don't work on your card (duplex, recording, ext.
MIDI, autodetect, etc)

I especially need information on PCI based cards, laptop/embedded
chipsets, Creative Labs AWE cards, and external MIDI. Any information,
however, is very much appreciated.

Please send info to jfulmer@appin.ml.org.


Thanks,

jf
