Hello Dave and all,
here is what i did with isapnp to my AWE64Gold:

(CONFIGURE CTL009e/4234717 (LD 0
#     ANSI string -->Audio<--
(INT 0 (IRQ 5 (MODE +E)))
(DMA 0 (CHANNEL 1))
(DMA 1 (CHANNEL 5))
(IO 0 (BASE 0x0220))
(IO 1 (BASE 0x0330))
(IO 2 (BASE 0x0388))
(ACT Y)
))
(CONFIGURE CTL009e/4234717 (LD 1
#     ANSI string -->Game<--
(IO 0 (BASE 0x0200))
(ACT Y)
))
(CONFIGURE CTL009e/4234717 (LD 2
#     ANSI string -->WaveTable<--
(IO 0 (BASE 0x0620))
(IO 1 (BASE 0x0A20))
(IO 2 (BASE 0x0E20))
(ACT Y)
))

A problem might be, that pnpdump is not generating the second and third
io for
the wave table synth. Another on is (for me), that midi output to my
keyboard
(musical not computer :-) ) does not work, neither with OSS/Free nor
with
OSS/Linux.

You can find Your Win95 config in a file named CTPNP.CFG in the Windows
directory
and set the values accordingly to avoid resource conflicts.

Remember that you have to download a sound font bank to the Wave table
with a command like this:

/usr/local/bin/sfxload
/win95/Programme/Creative/ctsnd/sfbank/synthgs.sbk

Bye, Emil.
