I've got a sound blaster PCI128 card that I can't seem to get working
with my RH 6.1 system. I've tried a lot of things and made some
progress, but I'm stuck.  I've read in numerous places how easy it is
to get this card to work with linux, so I must be missing something.
I would really appreciate some help!  Here are some details:

1.  I've rebuilt my kernel a few times with ok results.  This time, I
rebuilt it to compile the sound stuff as a module and to compile the
es1371 module. lspci -v showed that I have an es1371

00:0d.0 Multimedia audio controller: Ensoniq ES1371 (rev 07)
        Subsystem: Unknown device 1274:8001
        Flags: bus master, slow devsel, latency 32, IRQ 12
        I/O ports at d000
        Capabilities: [dc] Power Management version 1

2.  I added this line to /etc/conf.modules

        alias sound es1371

3.  Recompilation went ok, and when I boot with the new kernel, I see
this in dmesg

es1371: version v0.13 time 00:26:37 Dec  3 2000
es1371: found adapter at io 0xd000 irq 12
es1371: features: joystick 0x0
es1371: codec vendor ^@^@^@ revision 0
es1371: codec features none
es1371: stereo enhancement: no 3D stereo enhancement

4.  However, when I now note the following two problems

- klogd is now taking 99% of my CPU.  However I don't see lots of
messages being written in /proc/kmsg.  I've seen some mail on this,
but nothing conclusive.  BTW, my kernel version is 2.2.12-20.

- I can't play anything using mpg123.  It just sits there forever.
After I control-C out, and look at /proc/kmsg, I see this

        <7>es1371: dma timed out??

I tried to run sndconfig, which correctly identified the es1371, but
that also hung after it tried to play a test sound.

5.  Also, I get this

[root@bluemasq robt]# ls -l /dev/sndstat
crw-rw-rw-   1 root     root      14,   6 May 16  2000 /dev/sndstat
[root@bluemasq robt]# cat /dev/sndstat
cat: /dev/sndstat: No such device
[root@bluemasq robt]#
