Someone else I'm talking to is reporting the same problem :/. ISAPNP busted in 2.5? ;)

dmesg 2.4.20-pre7 - OSS: - WORKS
============================

    Me too!

    In 2.5.47 mainline and 2.5.49-ac1 the ALSA drivers (either sb16 or

sbawe) load but don't detect devices if PNP support is built in. The same card (an awe64) works fine under 2.4.19.

Without PNP sb16 works (with only sb16 features) but sbawe will
not load, complaining that it can't find the awe bits.

My guess would be the new isapnp registration layer, which ALSA doesn't seem to be using. I might have a go at it later, looks like it might need conversion.

That is indeed the case. I just released a patch for pnp card support. This new API can be used to convert these drivers.

Thanks,

I have nearly finished rewrite of OSS sb_card.c for the new PnP API. I am only waiting on Rusty's module_param stuff to go in before I finish and submit.

Let me know if you want to test it as it is without module options working (defaults should be fine).

I will then update the sbawe driver.

I can test it and since I compile most things into kernel this should be fine.
