The only way I know of to get a SoundBlaster working 'with-out'
compiling it into the kernel is to purchase the OSS commercial
Sound package for $20. That has it's advantages. It is the way
I run my sound blaster.
You must get an upgrade everytime you upgrade your kernel tho. No
problem with that as the license last for 2-3 years.
