I believe this to be a problem in newpcm, as it appears with my onboard
soundcard too. Also, when playing MP3's, sometimes the machine decides to
play static (white noise) instead of the sample.

Here is what I have:

pcm0: <Yamaha SA3> at port 0x220-0x22f,0x530-0x537,0x388-0x38f,0x330-0x331,0x370-0x371 irq 5 drq 0,1 on isa0
unknown0: <OPL3-SA3 Snd System> at port 0x211 on isa0

This problem is present since the switch to newpcm. Before newpcm, I did
not experience problems with RealPlayer or my MP3 player (no matter which
one).

I'm running -current as of yesterday and the sound chip is on board on a
Intel AN430TX motherboard.
