(2) Using "mpg123" results in silence at first, then after about 30

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...

Missed the original mssage, adding alsa-devel. I have a few dozen es18xx's cards but no Alpha's. Am compiling a 2.6.25-rc4 onto an x86 test box now.
