This is a famous problem, just look at vt.c, you'll see a lot of ifdefs around sound routines. Just every porting engineer who encounter this problem solved it himself (and added own ifdef to vt.c). In my case, I just got fault epc, found the address in objdump -D output and look at the sources. For me it seems easier, than posting a message to a list. <nothing personal, really> Regards, Gleb.
