Okay I finally got things functional, I got the latest
sndconfig from Mandrake and it recognized the PCI512
card as a SB Live! card and had a bunch of errors. I
didn't think it worked but all the little click pops
and bangs are now working. It will play MP3's in the
Midnight commander mode but KMP3 won't load the .mp3
files. So I'm going to try and get another GUI MP3
player.
Thanks for all your help!
