It is the vibra 16-x card that is hard to make work; the one with 2 8-bit
dma channels. Linux has trouble driving them in full duplex mode and the Alsa
folks say that the card is semi-supported. If it is a normal vibra16 they are
easy enough to make work, I managed to get one working back in 98 it must have
been with the old oss/free drivers under kernel 2.0.27

Regards, Kerry.
