Great. Thanks for testing/reporting.

Mmm. That was probably then since the card was already in WSS mode. If you'd 
boot straight into Linux (from a hardware reset/machine off state certainly) 
and run that "eeprom" tool as the first thing you do, then:

	modprobe snd-sb8 port=0x220 irq=5 dm8=1

should work. If not, I have some further figuring to do. I did figure out 
how to switch the card back to SB mode from WSS mode already, but am seeing 
some trouble with where (and how often...) to reset the DSP to have it back 
again after that.

Yes, this will find it's way into an ALSA driver shortly. Since I'm seeing 
some trouble again with putting the card back in SB mode from WSS mode I'm 
giving it a bit of a rest for now while I continue the things I actually 
_should_ have been doing right now (...) but I will make sure a new driver 
gets submitted that supports our EEPROM-less Sound Galaxies...

Rene.
