Moin,

Well, it helps. With your patch, I'm able to play mp3s if (and only if) I
do not use boot -v. I kid you not :
There's still a delay of approx. 3-4 seconds during mpg123's startup
message and the first samlple of the first second. (This may be a problem
with mpg123, allthough I did not experience this with the SB16).
Other data points:
cat /dev/sndstat still reports irq 0/dma 0:

I was able to caputre the output boot -v after increasing the kernel message
buffer[0]. The relevant portion of the log is:

I've had a lot of fun with the mixer. Changing the mixer settings for vol
and/or pcm changes the output signal. Changing the other mixer settings may
or may not result in rather strange behaviour. A few examples:
ue@nathan$ mixer
Mixer vol is currently set to 76:76
Mixer bass is currently set to 0:0
Mixer treble is currently set to 0:0
Mixer pcm is currently set to 76:76
Mixer speaker is currently set to 64:64
Mixer line is currently set to 64:64
Mixer mic is currently set to 64:64
Mixer cd is currently set to 64:64
Mixer rec is currently set to 64:64
Mixer ogain is currently set to 64:64
Mixer line1 is currently set to 64:64
Mixer phin is currently set to 64:64
Mixer video is currently set to 64:64
ue@nathan$ mixer line1 0
Setting the mixer line1 to 0:0.
ue@nathan$ mixer
Mixer mic is currently set to 49:49
Mixer line1 is currently set to 0:0
[all other values remain the same]
mixer line1 64
Setting the mixer line1 to 64:64.
ue@nathan$ mixer
Mixer mic is currently set to 64:64
Mixer line1 is currently set to 64:64
ue@nathan$ mixer mic 0
Setting the mixer mic to 0:0.
ue@nathan$ mixer
Mixer mic is currently set to 0:0
[all other values are unchanged]
ue@nathan$ mixer mic 64
Setting the mixer mic to 64:64.
ue@nathan$ mixer line1 0
Setting the mixer line1 to 0:0.
ue@nathan$ mixer
Mixer vol is currently set to 76:76
Mixer bass is currently set to 0:0
Mixer treble is currently set to 0:0
Mixer pcm is currently set to 76:76
Mixer speaker is currently set to 64:64
Mixer line is currently set to 100:64 <---
Mixer mic is currently set to 64:64
Mixer cd is currently set to 64:64
Mixer rec is currently set to 64:64
Mixer ogain is currently set to 64:64
Mixer line1 is currently set to 0:0
Mixer phin is currently set to 64:64
Mixer video is currently set to 100:64 <---
Changing the mixer settings for bass and treble doesnt't affect the
output nor the settings reported by the next mixer command. For example:
ue@nathan$ mixer
Mixer vol is currently set to 76:76
Mixer bass is currently set to 0:0
Mixer treble is currently set to 0:0
Mixer pcm is currently set to 76:76
Mixer speaker is currently set to 64:64
Mixer line is currently set to 64:64
Mixer mic is currently set to 64:64
Mixer cd is currently set to 64:64
Mixer rec is currently set to 64:64
Mixer ogain is currently set to 64:64
Mixer line1 is currently set to 64:64
Mixer phin is currently set to 64:64
Mixer video is currently set to 64:64
ue@nathan$ mixer bass 75
Setting the mixer bass to 75:75.
ue@nathan$ mixer
Mixer bass is currently set to 0:0
Mixer rec is currently set to 82:82 <----
[The other settings remained unchanged]
If you need a guinea pig for further tests, just drop me a line.

[0] Somebody should add the words "used by dmesg and friends" the comment
above the option MSGBUF_SIZE and/or add a hint about this option to the
manual page for dmesg.

Now they show you how detergents take out bloodstains; a pretty violent
image there. I think if you've got a T-shirt with a bloodstain all over it,
maybe laundry isn't your biggest problem. Maybe you should get rid of the
body before you do the wash.
