Okay, I'm jealous that it works for you.  Mine is all-IDE (well, ATAPI and 
ATA-66, close enough ;)).

No, I also have the Value "version" of this card.  Creative sometimes calls its
OEM packages "value," but only sometimes.  I'm also using the pcm* driver:

pcm0: <AudioPCI ES1371> port 0x9400-0x943f irq 10 at device 11.0 on pci0

After fiddling with a bit today (had to do actual work :O so I didn't get much
of a chance), it appeared that an audio app, say xmms, would work fine as long
as it was started BEFORE any CPU-intensive tasks that drove the load up.  Strange.
The sound will also freak out on me if I attempt to adjust any preamp sliders
in xmms - will yours do this also?

Ah, that's what Iron Maiden meant when they sang "the one for You and Me." ;)

Thanks,
