Could you please supply a lspci of the sound card.

You can start of by finding out the chip on the sound card and getting the
datasheets for it. If the chip supports or is supported by some current
drivers, you could make the appropriate additions to the supported cards
in the particular modules (add Vendor/PCI IDs) and see if it works.
Otherwise you could start work on a new driver :) It might be an idea to
read through a couple of drivers and see how they do things. For
additional help regarding kernel hacking in general, check out
www.kernelnewbies.org and the mailling list is at

Good luck, and happy hacking :)
