Greetings. I've been trying to make the ALSA PCI es1968 sound 
driver work, for both playback and mic-in recording, with no 
success. I've tried kernel versions 2.5.53, 2.5.59, and 2.5.60, 
with no luck. I believe that it has to do with the driver 
itself, as I can successfully use the ALSA cmipci driver for 
both recording and playback. Fortunately, the cmipci chipset 
sucks for recording, or I may never have had the motivation to 
find and report this bug :)

Unfortunately, I don't know how to give good information for 
debugging, only some half-assed descriptions of the symptoms:

1. KMixer won't show the card, just a big empty spot.

2. My favorite synthesizer program, AlsaModularSyth, crashes 
immediately upon attempted load.

3. Zinf (formerly freeamp) tells me it can't open audio device 
/dev/dsp.

I am using Gentoo 1.4rc1, which means I am using devfs, if that 
helps any.

Please let me know if there is a way I can provide better 
debugging info.
