Alan,
I checked into this. When I boot the system,
the drivers load as I described earlier.
If I then attempt to run "esd" before starting X,
I get this error:
Sound: DMA (output) timed out - IRQ/DRQ config error?
I get this error running as root or from my user account.
Also, after starting X, if I try running xgalaga, I either
get the "Cannot access /dev/dsp" or I get what sound like
a sequence of short sound loops that slowly mutate.
Weird.
Thanks for any help you can offer!
