This is probably a silly question, but have you tested this driver and option with an HDSP 9652 card at your site? The current driver in the Alsa 0.9.6 release doesn't work very well for me: 1) Mono wave files work using aplay work fine. 2) Stereo wave files using aplay crash Alsa requiring a reboot. 3) Mono sound for games (presumably OSS emulation) seem to work. 4) aplaplayer (straight or using Jack) produces audio 1 out of 20 times I use it, and then only for about a second or two. 5) 1 out of 10 times starting an application (games mostly) that uses sound results in a process called 'ksoftirq_CPU0' using 70% of the CPU cycles and the machine becoming very, very slow. A reboot is required. I updated Alsa on Sunday via Portage under Gentoo. As has been the case for quite a long time, the picture isn't very pretty. Wondering if you're seeing anything like this?
