1. Sound Blaster AWE64 setup problems
I am running rh linux 6.0, kernel 2.2.5-15. I
just upgraded from 5.2 and I cannot get the sound
card to work correctly.
This is my sndstat:

============================
When I log in as root and run sndconfig it runs
fine -- no errors at all and both samples play.
I can cat .au files and pipe them to /dev/audio
and they play, but esdplay, wavplay, and other
applications (like those under X or in gnome) that
should make sould do not work. I can get playmidi
to work with the -a flag.
What is going on?? How do interperet the outputs above?
I have no idea how to debug this and begin to get a handle
on what is going wrong.
Thanks for any help in advance.
