It looks like I have it working about 1/2 way. I compiled 1.0.3 and
along with its libs and utils got it installed on a RH9 system
(2.4.20). The drivers seem to load correctly, but attempts at getting
the mixer to work (alsamixer) seem to die in flames.

p.s. I won't go into the fact that KDE's use of /dev/dsp sppms to
fail. I suspect that if the above problem is cured, all will be well.
My intent here is to show the failure in as simple terms as possible,
using programs provided by alsa (alsamixer).
Previous people mentioned that the ES1869 is a Sound Blaster
compatable, if that were TOTALLY true (who am I to dispute!!), my next
question is why is there a different driver??
I suspect that the solution is a simple one.
Thanks.
