problem configuring sb16 and alsa

[Kerry Hoath]

Yes Greg, I can read and I realize the card
is ISA.
You must realize that unless a resource is specifically reserved for the ISA
bus, it is liable to appear only on the PCI bus.
Interrupts default to beeing assigned for PCI devices or ISAPNP devices.
Unless you assign them to legacy ISA any interrupts generated by
ISA cards never make it to the system.
The symptom of this is that when you cat /proc/interrupts 5 shows as in
use by the soundcard it has + to show it is enabled but the
count of interrupts is 0 and never increases.
BTW there was never a PCI SB16 <smile>
