: under linux would be appreciated.

Linux doesn't support Plug and Play yet (it is comming :-).  Until it
does u have 2 options:
1) Use loadlin to boot Linux after initialising the soundblaster.
2) Boot dos before booting Linux with lilo.

Option 1 is the cleanest, but i use option 2 as i can't bear to have dos
as part of my boot cycle :-)  Seriously, I have rendered dos unbootable
serveral times when muching around, and don't want this to stop me from 
booting Linux :-)
BTW: a new plug and play mailing list is on the way.....
Cheers,
