Just have to check thats all.

It looks like you may have dma problems. Try playing an mpeg audio file
and compile something in the background.

There is also a version of real audio player for FreeBSD so you may
want to give that a try.

Now, sorry to pester you about the Green Book and VideoCD stuff we 
can really use something to read those CD formats;specially, now days
with the PII getting so cheap .

Now back to your problem , you may want to put a printf in the 
linux emulation layer on the GETOPTR ioctl and examine what value
is it returning.

	Cheers,
