I hate to post a "me-too", but here it goes. I'm also experencing similar problems with pcm on my laptop with the neomagic driver. Running "amp -s" which reports the number of frames written to the sound device, will write about 20 frames, and then hang in the state of [pcmwr] until ctrl-c is pressed. It sounds like theres a DMA transfer problem. Doing something like "cat /kernel > /dev/audio" will also just loop the first 1/2 second over and over.
