Rats. My GUS Pro still doesn't work properly. This is on a no-name
AMD 486-133/PCI/PnP motherboard with the guspnp6 stuff added:

Warning! GUS DMA not selected
What's the deal with the warning message?
I can get sound, though the volume is low and not settable. It loops
away from the start. When you play something the process hangs forever
while the audio plays over and over.
If you play something, kill it (to stop the looping), and then play
something shorter the looping includes the end of the longer item.
The buffer seems to expand with the size of the largest file played.
This probably explains why the system crashes if you play something
fairly long.
When I try to set `vol' with `mixer' I get:
WRITE_MIXER: Invalid argument
Is there a way to make this stuff work? I've tried it on a few different
FBSD releases now with similar results.
Is there some other card that actually works well with FBSD? I also
tried a SoundBlaster 16, with other funky problems (too many ports
all over the place, low quality, etc.)
Will sound ever become a fully supported feature of FreeBSD?
Thanks
Richard
