Yes, I'm very sure. Just to summarize: My friend had problems with the alsa
binaries from Suse 8.2, so we updated the whole system with all patches
that where available from Suse, including the kernel. The problem was still
the same. Next, we checked out alsa from cvs (co started yesterday (tuesday)
after 6pm), rebuilt everything and the problem was still there.
Then I sent the mail to alsa-devel.
You told me to a) test the dxs_support options and b) rebuild the kernel
without the SND_ entries in the autoconf.h file.
Playing with a) changed nothing, tested with /etc/init.d/alsasound restart.
Then I changed b), deleted all .o files, rebuilt and installed again. After
that, the kernel messages were gone.
Playing with dxs_support afterwards did not resolve the problem.
The atachment to my first mail contains /proc/pci and some other output
(from the alsa-version provided with the updated suse 8.2).
There are two noticable problems: Music in Pysol plays much too fast, Music
in NWN (linux version) is jerky, as is the sound in DiabloII under WineX.
If you need new/other/updated infos or anything, I'm willing to provide them.
Oh, btw. I have some doubts that the chipset really is a 8233A chipset (the A).
Thanks
Jörg

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
