I have retrieved all the working settings (i.e. DMA, IRQ) from Windows System Manager. Here is my current report on the subject: * all mixer controls seems to work in alsamixer, you can mute/unmute the following controls (visible MM goes away/comes back) Record, Hardware, Mic Boost, Master. By modifying snd_es18xx_playback_trigger function I tested both dma playback functions and here are my findings: *dma1, i.e.snd_es18xx_playback2 function writeout kern.log: (Produces no sound at all. When stopped playing an mp3 with mpg321 gives playback drain error) ************************************************************************** Jan 30 19:30:34 cyberbob kernel: isapnp: Scanning for PnP cards...

I was a bit worried about that compiling the source from the project pages and installing on Debian might be problematic due to the package system on Debian, however this seems to work without glitches.
