Hey Meyarivan,

	Sound configuration under linux is very easy and not complicated in any
way as long as u read the howtos & FAQs and do it by the book. Of
course, there must be a driver available :-)

	All sound blaster compatible cards use standard values for irq,io &
dma. They are...

	IRQ = 5,7 or 9
	DMA = 5 & 1
	IO = 0x220,0x388

	Concerning the OSS drivers, What will u do after the trial period runs
out ???
