Summary:                    ISA sscape driver does not find Soundscape Elite
Description: 
The ALSA driver builds fine, both as a module and built-in but
the driver does not find the Soundscape Elite card.

I thought that I had found the problem when I just noticed that
/etc/modules.conf should have port=0x534 instead of port=0x539, but fixing
that goof didn't help
the snd-sscape module to find the hardware;
the kernel log still said "sscape: hardware not detected at 0x534".
I do have /dev/snd/hwC0D0, but with different owner and permissions:
crw-rw-r--  1 root audio 116, 4 2003-08-29 03:47 /dev/snd/hwC0D0
I did run the sscape_ctl program as root.

"sscape: hardware not detected at 0x534"

OK, this is expected because the driver is only testing port 0x534 for a
SoundScape PnP card, and not for a SoundScape Elite. ALSA's
detect_sscape() function is going to need extending with extra Voodoo code
from the OSS linux/sound/oss/sscape.c file. (At the very least...!) I'm
afraid you're going to have to tease the correct initialisation sequence
out of the OSS driver so we know what code to put in the ALSA version. I
suggest putting printk() statements in the OSS code so that you can follow
the code-path when the OSS driver loads.
