Sounds like a DMA screwup. However, I'm pretty sure that it's not a generic ALSA problem with ISA DMA, as my good old GUS MAX still works perfectly on lx164 (machine that is very similar to your miata) as I checked yesterday with patched 2.6.25-rc4. :-) > I have to hit <ctrl>C twice to interrupt playback. > > /proc/asound/cards looks normal: > > 0 [ES1888 ]: ES1888 - ESS AudioDrive ES1888 > ESS AudioDrive ES1888 at 0x220, irq 5, dma1 1, dma2 5 I wonder if it still works on x86 - perhaps you ought to ask ALSA folks. I'll search my machine room next week - I recall that there were a dozen of old ISA soundcards, maybe there is some es18xx stuff, but chances are slim...
