What I have found is mostly cases where the dmasound code would try to write awacs registers on i2s based machines, which means the i2s registers could be garbaged. I'm fixing this in my tree along with making sure i2s is properly configured from 44.1Khz and 16 bits samples. I'm wondering though if the problem could be fifo ping pong between Keylargo and the sound chip, eventually the sound clock provided by KL could be wrong. There are some bits in KeyLargo FCR 1 that can control the clock fed to the sound chip, I'll try to see if those contain sensible values (they are supposed to be set by OF). Ben.
