Unfortunately I forgot how to configure it, but here is something that I might recall. I was using Redhat 5.0. I downloaded OSSfree version 3.8. I first compiled the kernel without the sound support. Then I use the isapnp tools to configure the pnp card, of course you have to edit the files and enable certain configurations. After that, I decompress the ossfree sound driver in the /usr/src/linux directory. Then I recompile the kernel using the configuration I set in the isapnp.conf. It once worked, even the MIDI and other stuff worked. But when I reformatted the hard disk and reinstall everything, is doesn't work at all. You can also try to download the ALSA sound driver. I heard that it works. It supports your sound chips. I haven't try it yet, but soon. Trying my best to help...
