Ensoniq Soundscape and 2.1.x

I own an Ensoniq Soundscape, and it has worked great with Linux until
recently. I dug into the problem a little bit, and with this in the
makefile, I can get it to work, mostly... (previously the makefile
ignored the dependency on ad1848.)

ifeq ($(CONFIG_SSCAPE),y)
L_OBJS += sscape.o
LX_OBJS += ad1848.o
else
ifeq ($(CONFIG_SSCAPE),m)
M_OBJS += sscape.o
MX_OBJS += ad1848.o
endif
endif

(Please add something like this to drivers/sound/Makefile, BTW)

With this change, I compile, reboot with:

# sound adapter
alias char-major-14 sscape
options sscape dma=3 irq=11 io=0x534 mpu_irq=9 mpu_io=0x330

in my /etc/conf.modules file.

After manually loading sound, ad1848, and mpu401, I see:

root@dillweed% cat /proc/modules
mpu401 17716 0
ad1848 14172 0
sound 79668 0 [mpu401 ad1848]

then (the moment of truth):

root@dillweed% insmod sscape
/lib/modules/2.1.80/misc/sscape.o: init_module: Device or resource busy

And then, even more strangely:

root@dillweed% rmmod mpu401
root@dillweed% modprobe mpu401
root@dillweed% !cat
cat /proc/modules
mpu401 17716 0 (unused)
ad1848 14172 0
sound 79668 0 [mpu401 ad1848]
msdos 7076 3 (autoclean)
fat 24636 3 (autoclean) [msdos]
root@dillweed% modprobe sscape
/lib/modules/2.1.80/misc/sscape.o: init_module: Device or resource busy
sound: Device or resource busy
root@dillweed% !cat
cat /proc/modules
ad1848 14172 0
sound 79668 0 [ad1848]
msdos 7076 3 (autoclean)
fat 24636 3 (autoclean) [msdos]

Any ideas what the problem here is???
