Apparently the sounds device I have is not supported.  I'm looking to just
spend a few bucks on a semi-decent sound card.  Can anyone tell me if
they've had luck with.....


Creative Sound Blaster 32/AWE <--- a friend has one used
Creative Sound Blaster PCI128
Creative Sound Blaster PCI64

I know OSS lists these as supported but I'm sure some are easier to get
going than others.  As I've come to found out PnP is truely evil !  How can
I tell for sure if a product is truly a Wondoze PnP device.  I know some
products are packaged with that wording but for the most part are not (ie:
standard modem claiming plug and play but they're not "winmodems")

thanks,
