Re: [PLUG] linux sound options

[LeRoy Cressy <lcressy@telocity.com>]

make sure that your kernel has CONFIG_SOUND_ES1371: Esonic 1371 compiled
into the kernel.  It might be wise to compile this not as a module.  On
kernel boot your sound card will be loaded automatically.

A word of caution about sound and some games:

There are some games that use the yiff sound driver and upon exiting the
game the driver is still loaded on the system causing other utilities
like playing CD's inoperative.
