First, /dev/sndstat:

VoxWare Sound Driver:3.5-alpha11-9707223 (Wed Jul 23 3:00:00 PDT 1997 Amancio Hasty@rah.star-gate.com)
    Config options: 

    Installed drivers: 
    Type 1: OPL-2/OPL-3 FM

The OPL3 still erroneously reports having IRQ 1 assigned.  The
config file says:

    device opl0     at isa? port 0x388

I still have the problem with detecting the OPL3 on my PnP SB16.
I upped the DELAY() in opl3_detect() to 30000 and it seems to work.
Half that isn't enough, but I didn't a lot of other values.

Has DELAY() changed between 2.2-STABLE and 3.0-CURRENT?

If the OPL3 isn't detected, the second use of the sequencer gives:

    /kernel: Sequencer: Warning! Cannot open synth device #0 (-16)

Playing audio files through the sound blaster seems to work well,
as does recording.  However, interrupting a playback and then
starting a new one gives:

    /kernel: isa_dmastart: channel 1 busy

And while I know it has been suggested that that line simply be
commented out, I think it indicates a problem.

Playing/recording through the GUS [MAX] doesn't seem to work at
all.  ktrace shows the reads returning -1 with EIO, and the writes
completing but the kernel complaining:

    /kernel: isa_dmastart: channel 3 busy
    /kernel: Sound: DMA (input) timed out - IRQ/DRQ config error?
    /kernel: isa_dmastart: channel 3 busy
    /kernel: Sound: DMA (output) timed out - IRQ/DRQ config error?

As far as I know, nothing else is on DMA channel 3.

I also tweaked some of the midi timeouts, as mentioned in previous
messages.  Patches have been mailed to Amancio
