I appreciate your suggestions, Kenny. The card is an sb-live pci card. Slackware uses stock kernels without any Slackware specific patches, so I doubt this problem is distro specific. I could be wrong about that recompiling thing I suppose, but the config file sure looks like it to me. I am a little uncertain how to handle the more traditional alsa packages now that alsa seems integrated into the kernel, but I guess I could always grab the latest tarballs and start from scratch compiling and installing alsa using a kernel with highmem selected.
