I managed it to hear sound with the darla20, after following the 
instructions at http://xoomer.virgilio.it/g_pochini/ea.html although i 
needed a 2.4.22 multimedia kernel (i found this in the mandrake contrib 
repository) before it would work. with a 2.6 kernel i had many 
unresolved symbol errors when modprobing the module. need to check more 
on the soundcard, but i guess i need some sleep now.
