Ensoniq AudioPCI card

Has anyone got audio/speaker to work with the Ensoniq AudioPCI card? The Sound-HOWTO indicates that the Ensoniq SoundScape card is supported, but I don't think AudioPCI card is the same. Also, this is a PnP card, I think. For Linux 2.0.29, do you need to use isapnptool to make this work right?
