Subject:   ESS-1688 needs SBPRO support

I have a very old ESS-1688 sound card.  It's an ISA card with jumpers
for everything and anything.  I've had it working under Linux, Win (of
course), and I *think* I remember having it running under FreeBSD
2.2.8.  I'm running 3-STABLE now.

I've compiled the kernel with the following lines:

controller	snd0
device		sb0	at isa? port 0x220 irq 9 drq 1
device		opl0	at isa? port 0x388

The irq is not standard, and it says I'm supposed to change the hard
coded values in sound_config.h, but I can't find anything in the file
that would seem to affect this particular setting.  That's not the
problem.

Compiles fine, boots fine, but as it boots, it says:

sb0 at 0x220 irq 9 drq 1
Hmm... Could this be an ESS688 based card (rev 11)

NOTE! SB Pro support required with your soundcard!
snd0: <SoundBlaster Pro 3.1>
opl0: ...

I can't find any option anywhere that I can set to activate SB Pro
support.  How do I turn this on in the kernel?

Even with the boot that way, cat /dev/sndstat reveals the SoundBlaster
at its correct address, irq, etc..., but it shown no mixer device, and
I can't seem to get any sound to come out of the system at all.

Ideas?

Thank you in advance for your assistance.
