I don't think there's a Debian package for this yet, but there is a Linux
Gravis Ultrasound Project with their own loadable driver as a replacement
for the standard USS sound support. Check
ftp://ftp.pf.jcu.cz/pub/perex/ultra/. It is still in development but already
is an excellent driver. Included with the distribution is isapnptools, which
will allow you to configure your Plug'n'Pray device.

I'm going to try and package the Ultralib for Debian sometime soon - I'm
just waiting for the next stable release.

   Setting the kernel up to handle the Gravis card looks simple, but how
   do I deal with the PnP ? My machine does *not* have a PnP biso.
 
   Any advice would be greatly apprecited.

At the moment there isnt any Gravis Pnp support in the linux kernel. You
have to alternatives:

1. Purchase the commercial version of OSS which has Gravis Pnp
support.

or

2. Grab the third party Linux Ultrasound driver which supports 8
gravis cards including the PnP's..
Check out http://www.pf.jcu.cz/~perex/ultra

Note: I use this driver and havent had many problems.. The driver
is still being developed and there is a mailing list ..etc

I would recommend option 2!

I've recently solved this type of problem for a PnP isa card with a 
serial port for my new Logitech mouse, and I've done it with a PnP 
SoundBlaster 16 on a different box.  If your machine is a dual boot 
DOS/Linux machine, and you GUS works in DOS/Windoze then you can work out 
a method of warm booting Linux from the DOS system with the card already 
configured.  Otherwise, check out Peter Fox's isapnptools package 
available from Red Hat's ftp server.  This package should allow you to 
set the configuration of your card under Linux with some time and perhaps 
some frustration on your part.

You might get it to work with isapnptools-1.8.tgz from:
ftp.redhat.com/pub/pnp/utils
