I tried a stock kernel 2.6.8.1 and found that the alsa snd-sbawe module oopsed when being loaded rather than working. I built a new 2.6.10-rc1 kernel with your alpha-isa.patch applied and it worked. I didn't notice anything alpha, isa or alsa sbawe specific in the changelogs so i'm assuming your patch is what did the trick. thanks! Greg
