This maybe covered by ad1848.c or pss.c (both of which mention
"soundport")

So did the kernel load any modules? (ie what does lsmod tell you)
Is there any information about IRQs etc for the card in your kernel logs
("dmesg")

That often indicates an IRQ conflict.
You may also be able to find out what IRQ the card uses by looking in
/proc/interrupts.  /proc/pci or "lspci" should tell you what IRQs your PCI
cards use - if one of them conflicts, try moving it to another slot.

The list doesn't add [plug] to the subject if the subject contains "Re:"
so if somebody posts a message that says "Re: <blah>" (perhaps forwarded
from another list) the [plug] tag won't be added.

Your best bet for fitering is the "Return-path" header, which for plug
messages is always set to plug-request at plug.linux.org.au.
