Haven't used it, so can't say how evil it is.  I'm using Slackware 7.0.

lspci shows bridges, IDE interface, and NeoMagic 2070 video chipset.  The
thing I'm wondering, I guess, is what the deal is with the multiple
IRQ/DMA, one for capture and one for playback.  Their docs page also
indicates that it's on an internal ISA bus.

pnpdump comes up with 'No boards found'.  Checked the BIOS, there's no
option relating to either the sound or PnP, and the sound was functioning
under NT yesterday, so I have to assume the hardware is ok.  I'm guessing
it's non-PnP ISA.

Kernel docs say to use sb for es1888 with an 'esstype=1888' parameter.  No
luck with that either, I'm afraid.
