Have you tried the "pcm" driver ?

brilliant. Just reading the various docs/mailing lists about audio
would have told you that SB cards are badly supported and audio
PCI devices are not supported at all.

the "Voxware" driver does not support multiple opens to the same device.
The "pcm" driver does but only on true full-duplex cards (not SB ones).

i think you are detecting the onboard audio controller, not the PCI one.
