okay.
some of the cheapest and yet not nastiest motherboards are beginning
to become available, in the UK for £12 (KM400 chipsets) www.ebuyer.com.
some of these contain CMedia CM9739 sound chips which are _supposed_ to
be AC97.
http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0302.3/1283.html
... except the present (2.6.7) kernel code doesn't work.
it _almost_ works - it just doesn't recognise the PCM slider.
alsamixer can't set PCM
kmix and kamix don't even _show_ PCM.
which ain't much cop, really, cos no PCM means "no sound matey".
so!
with these chipsets likely to become more prevalent (trust me
on this) and CMedia having an OSS AC97 driver [which according to above
by alan differs from the linux one]...
... anyone want to have a go at helping me get this to work,
at proxy?
if so, what sort of information should i provide?
i can get lspci's, listings of /proc/asound contents, i'm even
reasonably incompetent (viz. "not enough fear") at hacking
bits of kernel code.

the same well: Love. If you love yourself and everyone and everything
around you, funnily and coincidentally enough, life gets a lot better.
