Hey Kyle, glad to hear you also have a SB32. With two of us beating on it,
hopefully we can get it into shape for our cards.
FWIW after uncommenting the SB/SB16 support with guspnp7, I was having these
problems with the driver on the SB32:
- system freezes when breaking out of a /dev/dsp play app,
- not getting any sound with mtv,
- occasionally seeing the close of the device hang for a few seconds
after a play, which you mentioned, and
- recording fails (interrupted system call on read() if I remember)
If you get a minute, could you pull mtv (www.mpegtv.com -- it's a Linux
MPEG player) and try it on an MPEG system (audio+video) stream. There's a
ton at http://www.mpeg.org/MPEG/bitstreams.html under MPEG System Streams.
Also I (and Amancio too I'm sure) would be interested as to whether you can
lock up your system breaking out of play apps. As I recall, I was using
mpg123 on an MPEG L2 or L3 audio file, let it play for a sec and then
Ctrl-C -- didn't take but a few to freeze my box.
I'll also pull guspnp8 soon and retest with it.
Randall
