Hi there...  I will do that, however, I cannot seem to find a version for
slackware, can ya give me a link to it please?  To clarify, when I want my
soundblaster on the older computer to work, I don't have the alsa drivers
installed on it, I just put the following into the rc.local file:

/sbin/modprobe sb
/sbin/modprobe snd-pcm-oss
/sbin/modprobe snd-mixer-oss
play /DOS/windows/media/tada.wav
