Creative bought Ensoniq to get a PCI card out quickly.

Newer cards (esp. PCI) us a more low-level API (sound_core) and so it's normal that sndstat doesn't know about them. JFO> So, a try for reading from anyone either of the JFO> /dev/audio or /dev/dsp with the command: JFO> 'dd bs=8k count=5 sample.au' JFO> or the same with /dev/dsp...

Beware that this card may need a different type of microphone. Our 1371's down't work with the old microphones that we use with SB16.
