Broken EMU10K1 Driver in 2.4.8+

I noticed this around 2.4.8 but thought it to be just a glitch or that my sound card had crapped out on me. So I tested SBLive card under Windows and it worked without a hitch.

My problem:

Kernel 2.4.12 recognizes the card but does not set the devices. Following the Sound-HOWTO, I ran every test that it requested. It passed all except when I would cat /dev/sndstat.

Output:

cat: /dev/sndstat: No such device

All device files are present and showing the right permissions. And the kernel recognizes the card at every boot up? Has something changed recently that I need to reconfigure in my kernel?

Please help,
Adam W.

Hello!

AFAIK, this is correct because the sndstat device was supposed to support ISA
cards. It doesn'T exist in 2.4.X kernels any more (at least not for PCI devices)

May be you have to set the mixer! I'm using a SB Live! Player 5.1 without any
problems once the mixer volumes are set.
