Hi I'm having some troubles getting my OPL3-SA3 working, I have a Intel
Atlanta motherboard with the integrated OPL3-SA3 & OPL4ML (YMF715/YMF721).
I'm totaly sure of the settings it was using when I had windoze installed
but I'm pretty sure they were the defaults so I've set it up the same.

I'm using Debian Linux, I have the 0.2.0pre10 package installed along with
the 2.0.36 kernel.  I used Debian's kernel-package util to build everying
in so I'm pretty sure its not a compiling error.  Everytime I try to run
/etc/init.d/alsa start I get:
Starting sound driver: snd-opl3sa /lib/modules/2.0.36/misc/snd-opl3sa.o:
 init_module: Device or resource busy
snd: Device or resource busy
done
alsactl: No soundcards found...

my /etc/modutils/alsa looks like:
# --- BEGIN: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. ---
alias char-major-14 snd
alias snd-minor-oss-0 snd-opl3sa
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-minor-oss-12 snd-pcm1-oss
alias snd-card-0 snd-opl3sa
options snd snd_major=14 snd_cards_limit=1  snd_device_mode=0660
snd_device_gid=29 snd_device_uid=0
options snd-opl3sa snd_index=1 snd_id=CARD_1 snd_port=0x220
snd_wss_port=0x530 snd_midi_port=0x300 snd_fm_port=0x388 snd_irq=5
snd_dma1=0 snd_dma1_size=64 snd_dma2=1 snd_dma2_size=64
# --- END: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. ---


The only wierd thing about this soundcard that I know of is that when the
machine ran windows it said it was using the OPL3-SAx driver... which I
find odd considering the chip is very clearly labeled a YMF715 and not a
YMF719.  Anyone have any experience with this, or ideas?
