Perhaps we can go organize a fundraiser for SuSE so they can go out and buy
an ISAPnP soundcard. I have a few I can sell. I promise I won't overcharge
them (much).

Did look, but decided there wasn't much more specifically to add. It's
something more fundamental about the flow of things and while the comment

that just transported the OOPS two lines down again each time, so I held out
for Bjorn as well.

Still availabe for tests.
