You should be able to load it without any parameters with ISAPNP, i have a 
box at home with that card which only requires a modprobe opl3sa2. Could 
you show me how you're loading it as well as dmesg and /proc/isapnp output 
after loading.

Thanks, put it right at the end before the return and i'll be happy.

isapnp.c is fine

When you rediff, can you diff so that the patch can be applied with a 
strip of '1' ie diff -u linux/drivers...
