The one thing I know of is that the 1869 is a kind of screwy card. If
you don't pass the soundblaster module the correct options, it tends
to work halfway.
I put the sb.o module in with
modprobe sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=-1
the dma16 is important, I belive.. Is this how yours gets installed?
I've never used kmp3, but with mine on an AMDK6/233 I can play mp3's
at normal speed w/either mpg123 or winamp through wine.
If changing the parameters passed to the sb module doesn't work, the
output from lsmod and `cat /dev/sndstat` would be helpful..
oh. and also- what Kernel is the standard kernel from mandrake 6.0.2
you can get this from uname -r
