USS/Lite 3.5.4-beta7-960611 and Aztech Washington

I was tres excited to read in the README that finally Aztech Sound
Galaxy card with the Washington chipset would be supported.

So I rebuilt my kernel without sound support, and ran the install
program. Booted in DOS, used the Aztech software to test my config.
The 8-bit demo worked, the 16-bit demo didn't (hasn't ever, so that's
no surprise). I used the HWSET program to force the card to reset to
its default state (SB IRQ5, 240H - MSS 530H), and warm-booted into
Linux.

Here's a copy of soundon.log....

As you can see, no dice on sound. The Ethernet crap is from pulling
my NE2k card -- it's on IRQ5 normally, the PPP crap because I run
pppmond.

I'd love to make this thing work. Heck, Hannu, if FedExing it to you
in Finland would help, let me know. :-)

Help?!?
Jack.
