forget modules, compile in.

Something is using your card. Since you run RedHat, its probably some
weird redhat sound thing like esound or arts or whatever, (and I am
assuming you are running gnome or kDE or some other GUI thing (on a
server? why, dont ask) and its hogging your /dev/dsp.

Suggestion? dont run arts/esd, and if you still get no full-duplex after
that, get alsa - it supports most PCI cards way better.
