Hi -
	I recently rebuilt my machine and have gotten sound to work
somewhat.  I've got a Turtle Beach Montego A3D.  Using the aureal-kmod
port I can play mp3's using mpg123.  Also Gnome's sound events work (as
far as I can tell anyway -- some of them sound strange enough that they
might be playing wrong :)

I installed Maelstrom (games/maelstrom) for nostalgic reasons, but the
audio is really bad... choppy and jumpy and skippy...

My question is this... is my card just not that well supported?  Or is
there something I'm doing wrong?  Or something I need to configure yet? Is
there an app I can install to test things out?

This is what happens when I load the aureal driver..

pcm0: <Aureal Vortex 8820> port 0x10f0-0x10f7,0x10f8-0x10ff mem
0xf4100000-0xf411ffff irq 9 at device 16.0 on pci0

Here's what's in my /dev/ folder regarding sound...
