As the subject says, a new snapshot of the sound & pnp code is
available at the following URL:

	http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/snd970924.tgz
	http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/pnp970924.tgz

This snap is primarily targeted at 2.2.X users, since it incorporates
some minor fixes which are already in -current, and _does not_ include
the select->poll changes which have made their appeareance in 3.0

If previous snaps worked fine for you then you don't need to upgrade.
If they did not, then you might upgrade if:

    - you have a non-pnp SB clone which was not recognized;
    - you have a CS4236 or CS4237, PnP, which was not recognized;
    - you have a GusPnP _and_ are willing to make changes to the code!

For those experiencing 'clicks' in the output with the SB16: I am not
sure, but a possible explaination is that, despite the SB16 has a
playout FIFO, it only generates an interrupt when the FIFO is empty,
thus making it useless... I am saying this because the clicks cannot
be heard on the CS423x (except perhaps at the highest speeds). The
CS423x has a FIFO, but always tries to keep the playout FIFO full,
giving plenty of time to respond to interrupts and making operation
in normal DMA mode possible.

	Cheers
