	I can confirm this problem as well on Sony's R505GL. Same
problem with the interrupts. Iain's given a very good analysis of
what's probably happening.

	In the meantime, I've been using a workaround patch from
Chuck McCrobie's website < http://w3.mivlmd.cablespeed.com/~mccrobie/ >
to play music on my R505. His patch for /usr/src/sys/dev/pci/pci.c
was originally written for a Sony GRX-670.

	It seems that most recent Sony laptops are broken this way.
