well... all but the Bt848 (it's a PCI device :) )...  I'm going to be
commiting Luigi's sound code into the kernel soon too...  and that will
be able to support some PnP sound cards (like CS423x, GUS, OPTIxxxx)...

the programming interface is really easy, I did the stubs to sio in
about 5-10 minutes.. but I ran into other problems.. once the mods to
sio are done, it will then be able to support modems...

ttyl...
