This has me confused.  I have an almost identical configuration (same
distribution, same joystick) which works great out of the box.  The
only difference is that I'm pulling plib from current CVS instead of
version 1.6.0.  There have been some joystick changes recently, but I
believe it's been mostly code-motion to better support the Mac OS-X
driver.

This has been reported before.  The plib sound library asks for more
specific functionality from the audio device than most programs do and
sometimes run afoul of driver or hardware limitations where other
software works fine.  This seems to be especially true with integrated
chipset audio drivers.  Try installing the most recent version of the
driver and/or a current ALSA driver and see if that fixes your
problem.

If you are code-handy, try playing around with the plib sl library and
see if you can find the magic ioctl that plib is using to break the
driver.

Most of the core developers seem to be using SBLive cards, which have
*great* drivers (they support multiple simultaneous audio streams, for
example) and are relatively cheap.  Definitely recommended.
