Even ISA. So should Linux.
A big no-no, IMHO. Linux is a UNIX like system. I like Linux, I like UNIX. And I want my UNIX to ONLY do what I would like. If I say that there's an SB Live, and compile&install ALSA/OSS/whatever for sound card, it's right. If my OS want to do it without any request by me it's wrong! Hey this is not a child-toy, it's Linux. IMHO.
