i'll check when i get home in a few hours [should have home box dial work to check, but i haven't got the dtmf-aware inittab stuff going yet...]
from memory, my clone identifies as a ESS1688 or ESS1868 (dunno which) and seems to work perfectly with sb.o after bios pnp-configures it to its preferred defaults (defaults for sb16, too).
but the long-stand config confusion is still there in sound config.... + you must use mpu401 (or is it uart401) module too. + dunno whether this should be done for real sb16, or some clones, or wot, but this confused me. ESS16[68|86|88|??] seems to need it; whereas the prompt sez "not for SB16". can some genuine SB16 owner, or someone with deeper knowledge of sb-culture please explain this point? if it has come up in a recent faq, i've missed it. we probably need a line in the sound/config.help, but i don't know what it should say! ^..^ (oo)
