Well, good news.  On the advice from a kind lurking soul watching 
the lists, I compiled alsa-driver with gcc-2.95.3 (instead of 
3.1).  No more oopses.

I suppose I should know by now never to compile kernel code with 
the latest gcc.  Bad admin!  Bad!

Now on to *other* problems...

I'm not sure how to interpret many of the mixer channels in 
alsamixer, but I'm fairly sure that "Master" is supposed to 
control *everything.*  Apparently "Master" only affects the 
front channel...

When I'm playing a DVD (via xine+4channel) or an mp3 (via 
xmms+alsa plugin), front channels get controlled by "Wave", and 
rear channels get controlled by "Wave Surround".  That sort of 
makes sense, I suppose.  The front channels are also affected by 
adjusting the "PCM" mixer control or "Master" mixer control; 
"Wave Surround" is affected only by...well..."Wave Surround." 
"Master" does nothing for this, and this just doesn't seem quite 
right to me.  I would think "PCM" should affect all channels as 
well, sine there's only one "PCM" control...

Any ideas on this?  This is an SBLive! Value OEM, with what 
appears to be the original PCB layout (later SBLive! cards like 
the X-Gamer and MP3+ used a different PCB layout for some 
reason).
