Hi Chuck: The awe-64 is fine. If it is an isa device you will need to use isapnp to set the ports where you want them to live and then tell alsa in your modules.conf. If it is a pci device then you won't need the isapnp stuff but you'll still need to set things other than the snd_port and stuff in the options line of your modules.conf. I can tell you more once I know what type of interface it is. It doesn't really give you that much of an advantage over the sb16 though.
