Hi,

Here is my problem :

I've an onboard soundcard. My motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-8KNXP with a
Realtek ALC655 AC97 compliant onboard soundcard.
I'm using ALSA 0.9.6 on a SuSE 9.0 distrib, but I compiled the 0.9.8 release
to see if it changes something. The driver used by the Alsa conf is
snd-intel8x0 and all is correctly configured in my /etc/modules.conf.

Sound is working very well in all apps and games except one : Return To
Castle Wolfenstein ! When I launch it and try to play a single user game, it
hangs with a Signal 11 error. I tried many things : launching the game with
aoss or artsdsp, no success. I found some hacks on some forums
(snd_nonblock_open=1) which didn't worked at all.

I installed a Sound Blaster Live and disabled the onboard soundcard under my
bios. Then I reconfigured Alsa with snd-emu10k1. And you know what ? The
game works with it ! No signal 11, sound ok, ...

Is there a bug in the snd-intel8x0 driver ? Is this the good driver for my
onboard sound card ? I can't find it in the soundcard matrix. Is there a
hack ? I didn't tried something like 

echo "app_name  0 0 direct" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss

Can you think it can help ?
