Does anyone know anything about the PCI128? I can get sound out of this board with modprobe 1370 (not 1371? is the 128 inferior to the 64?), but the drivers that come with the kernel seem to get a lot of DMA timeouts, and programs often seem to hang trying to open /dev/dsp (don't receive TERM, either, only KILL), after which nothing can use sound... so I guess the chip isn't identical.
ALSA drivers for AudioPCI seem to work pretty well, though. -- Brendan Cully brendan@kublai.com `cat ~/.signature`
