I was using the 2.6.7 kernel without APIC or ACPI support, and the via82xx
driver worked perfectly, compiled as a module, without any options. I built a
new 2.6.7 kernel on the same hardware with APIC and ACPI support in the
kernel, as the board supports it, and the driver did not work correctly. When
sound was played, a short, 1 second long bit of the sound to be played was
looped. Possibly this is the clicking noise described by some people? The
driver works fine with this new kernel after adding the option
"dxs_support=1". I hope this interaction with ACPI and APIC sheds some light
on some of the troubles with this driver. I can provide more information if
anyone wants it. Please CC me, I'm not on the list.
