Thats fine ....

The OSS driver is using 16kb size buffer. I would bumb it up to 32kb or 64kb
also I don't know if they are using auto dma or if your card supports
auto dma. I would get a different card like a gus pnp pro or 
a SB 16 PnP.

Also, is anyone else having problems with OSS playing mpeg files
at 44khz?

On a separate note, does anyone know if the OSS driver is able
to play back mpeg files with the same card ,  Ensoniq Soundscape Elite?

	Cheers,
	Amancio
