	Yes, I configured only using sndconfig. The irq, dma and all i
copied from Windows. irq=10, dma=1, port=0x220. Autodetection did not
work. It said, no PCI ... found( sorry i forgot the message )

The ktalkd.wav sample file from the KDE installation plays well( an 
example ) and the wav files I copied from the Windows partition do not  
play at all( eg. Dangerous Creatures, etc ).

The installation works only if I select SBPro as my card. I tried
selecting SB and gave the above settings. The midi test plays properly but
the "I am Linus Torvalds..." sound sample plays only for a fraction of a
second and stops. I tried even Eqsonic(?) and others. Nothing worked
except SBPro. I dont know if this is useful, but mp3 plays really well,
even 16bit, stereo, 44KHz files, 128kbps ones.

Thanks
Gautam
