I missed something in your above earlier. You state this is an ISA card.
IIRC system-config-soundcard looks for PCI devices only and kudzu has
problems as well.

My recommendation -- spend the $10 to $200 (depending on the card you
choose) and get a NEW easily supported sound card.  I have used many
different versions of the creative cards and they have all been a simple
plug and play install.  Kudzu installs and configures them for you.
