At the moment, I don't even have the vxloader installed (I am converting to more recent kernel and (hopefully) more recent alsa. But the message was something like "No vx-compatible cards found". > It's possible that this driver has bitrotted - the only other reference > I see to it on LAU before your message is a similar issue in 2004.

I have a spare partition I could install something old on, if time permits. (I think I have RedHat 4.2 in the basement somewhere ;-) I have just installed Fedora Core 5 on this partition, but I have some testing left to do, to see whether that distribution fixes my card.
