I think the original question was about the new sound code in 2.2-stable or 2.2.5... Not current. Gee, I wish it would have made it in because it sure appears rock solid stable. Oh well, I guess some of us audio folks will have to patch the new 2.2.5 to get working sound then because the standard sound driver does not work right or at all with most pnp sound cards. bummer. :( 2.2.6 maybe?
