[AG-TECH] Soundblaster Cards

[John A. Greenfield]

I have also found a couple of instances where the default install with oss
drivers did not work at all on SBLive boards on some Dell machines
(vic couldn't find the boards even though the drivers installed fine). I
haven't debugged the problem since it was MUCH simpler to swap in Ensoniq
AudioPCI cards which worked fine.
