This is on FreeBSD-4.5 STABLE i386 with world rebuilt March 7 and ports
yesterday.

dmesg output:
pcm0: <Intel 82801BA (ICH2)> port 0xa400-0xa43f,0xa800-0xa8ff irq 10 at device 31.5 on pci0

sndstat output:
FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm) Mar  7 2002 19:05:14

        feeder_root(10000010)

The resulting output sounds somewhat like a record player unable to keep a
stable pitch.

Any ideas? (I'm leaning towards it's got something to do with the driver
since the commercial OpenSound driver OSS/FreeBSD 3.9.6b works just fine).

(FWIW this is the builtin soundchip on the "ASUS P4B" motherboard)
