Ok, am I missing something in configuring this?  When I try to cat
/dev/audio > foo I get nothing in foo, and I was getting an error
message ending with "IRQ conflict?" that I can't seem to make happen
today, or I'd include it.  Was getting 2 errors, both with "DSP
blah blah" in 'em.  (No, I don't have any actual IRQ conflicts.)

Here's my dmesg output:
pcm0 at 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 on isa
ESS1868 (rev 11)

Here's 'cat /dev/sndstat'
FreeBSD Audio Driver (981002) Oct 18 1998 02:37:46
Installed devices:
pcm0: <SoundBlaster Pro 3.1> at 0x220 irq 5 dma 1:1

And from my config file:
device pcm0 at isa? port 0x220 tty irq 5 drq 1 flags 0x0 vector pcmintr
 
This is all under current cvsupped yesterday.

I used to use the voxware driver with the same settings and
cat /dev/audio > foo used to work, at least.  (though lots of
other things didn't)

I was under the impression that this ESS was only half-duplex,
or am I wrong and do I need to set 2 dma channels?

This chip is supposed to also emulate MSS, but I was under 
the impression that MSS was full-duplex.  Am I mistaken?
Off the top of my head, I think that the capabilities of
the chip emulating MSS were supposed to be better than
emulating the SB -- 16bit vs 8bit sound, maybe?

Is it possible to make the chip work as MSS?
