Welcome to the "wonderful" world of the Maestro 3i. You'll find the following URL to be of interest...
http://www.zabbo.net/mailman/listinfo/maestro-users
Executive summary: a free driver is in its infancy, and you're more than welcome to join the debugging effort. If you *must* have sound capability, go to http://www.opensound.com and get the OSS driver: that will run you $15 for the base driver, and another $15 for the ESS Maestro add-on. It works well on my Dell Latitude CPx. You can try before you buy, and the 2.4.X kernel support is pretty good: new driver versions lag the release of a 2.4.0-testX kernel by less than a week in most cases.
Good luck!
