I posed this earlier and got no response. The OSS driver is really bad. It has hisses and crackles. OSS guys are working on it. I really would like to know what the status is?
I read that Alan Cox was working on an ESS Maestro sound driver at http://www.linux.org.uk/diary/ Alan wrote on June 10th: I get a lot of people with ESS maestro cards asking me about the state of the Maestro driver. Maestro.c in 2.2.9ac4 is most of a driver, it needs the mixer writing and it needs fixing so the DMA ring buffer works right. I've simply not had time to do this. I don't expect to have time to finish it in the near future either. Various people have asked about taking it over - feel free but if you do please let people on linux-kernel@vger.rutgers.edu know so that we get one Maestro project.
Does anyone know the progress of this? ... I would really like to try the new driver. Sound is the only thing keeping my Windows partition around (I could use the disk space!)
