I doubt the daughtercard affects you at all.  JTK would know for sure,
but AFAIK it just makes your GUS look like a GUS MAX.

/dev/audio expects mu-law audio sampled at 8 kHz.

I thought the gus.4 manpage made it into 1.1, but maybe it came later
(along with audio.4, &c.).  Try upgrading to -current, see if that
helps.
