I dont know if this really helps, but I have a Dell Latitude wich also has the ESS Maestro sound chip. I installed using the latest potato boot floppys, selected Maestro module along with the 3 OSS modules and everything worked just fine.
I had a couple of hangs due to the sound card, but I think this was due to some apps not working in tandem with esound. I didnt need to add or change anything in the defaults of debian potato. John.
