doing cat foo.pcm /dev/dsp. The same thing happens with mss.c v1.42
modified to reduce MSS_BUFSIZE by 48k.

I poked at the pcm sound driver a bit, and it appears that
sys/i386/isa/isa_dma.c:isa_dmastatus is returning 65280 (== snd_dmabuf
bufsize == 0xff00) when there is no dma pending, which kinda blows the
mind of sys/i386/isa/snd/dmabuf.c:dsp_wr_dmaupdate (which is easily
confused).
This breaks pcm
