I'm having the same problems. I have a December '98 SB Live card with the
daughter card, and I also experience distorted sound, and error messages on my
console: "pcm0: pci error". The sound does work, but it was *much* better
under one of the early 4.0-STABLEs.

In the past I've sent a few emails to this list re this issue, and also to one
of the pcm driver programmers, but no luck yet :-/
