Hi,

I've just upgraded a machine to a new MB (ATX w/ K6-2 500) with
the same hard drives and sound card.  I remade the kernel with
the pcm driver.

Problem is that when I "play soundfile.{au,wav}" I get a garbled
noise for just a moment, then the commandprompt hangs until the
process times out.  The sound device is busy until then, and
there is no more sound.  Usually, there is not even an initial
garbled bleep.  Just silence until the CLI process times out.

Upgrading isn't realistic for the moment until I get some more
diskspace.

Here are the particulars:

kernel config is device pcm

dmesg
