Using the Alsa drivers with my SB16 ISA locks the machine when using the alsa dsp. If I use oss-emulation, it will not lock up, but the sound quality is very poor. I recompiled my kernel with OSS support and I can play back ogg-vorbis files all day long without any lock-ups (and the sound quality is just as good as the alsa dsp). I'm running kernel 2.4.18 on SuSE 8.0. Unfortunately I don't get any error messages in my log, the machine apparently hangs before anything can be written. I can lock it up by launching XMMS playing through the alsa dsp plugin and then launch Mozilla and try to save something to disk. As soon as the save/open dialog pops up, the machine hangs. Mozilla of course is not the only thing that will lock it up when running playing music, but it certainly is the most repeatable.

Thanks for any help!
