Yep! Got one at home, in my Wife's PC. After lots of hassles trying to get it
working, I found it uses this Kernel driver:
   Creative Ensoniq AudioPCI 97 (ES1371)

I found this tid-bit by doing a Google search for "vibra128 linux" and the
first hit was a Tips page in Japanese, but there was enough English bits to
find this out.

Worked fine after, altho there's no MIDI support, so you have to use timidity
or similar...
