You have no horribly > obsolete alsa userland, nor an /etc/asound.conf or ~/.asoundrc? I don't have either of the two files mentioned above. As far as the alsa userland, I would think it's all "reasonably" current. I'm running Debian "Etch" fully patched/updated. I'll normally refrain from running things in the "unstable" or "experimental" categories unless something is broken in the "stable" tree that isn't getting fixed (e.g., a libc problem). Beyond that, I also tend to run the latest kernels to make sure we (the community) get an early warning if there are problems with kernel updates/changes on the Alpha architecture. Because it's a reasonably small list, here is the relevant "dpkg -l" output for alsa packages: Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-==================================-====================================-================================================================ ii alsa-base 1.0.13-5etch1 ALSA driver configuration files ii alsa-oss 1.0.12-1 ALSA wrapper for OSS applications ii alsa-utils 1.0.13-2 ALSA utilities ii alsaplayer-alsa 0.99.76-9 PCM player designed for ALSA (ALSA output module) ii alsaplayer-common 0.99.76-9 PCM player designed for ALSA (common files) ii alsaplayer-esd 0.99.76-9 PCM player designed for ALSA (EsounD output module) ii alsaplayer-gtk 0.99.76-9 PCM player designed for ALSA (GTK version) ii gstreamer0.10-alsa 0.10.10-4 GStreamer plugin for ALSA ii libasound2 1.0.13-2 ALSA library ii linux-sound-base 1.0.13-5etch1 base package for ALSA and OSS sound systems > No change with "aplay -M"? > (and) > This one needs answer so as to possibly pin things down to format: > > http://mailman.alsa-project.org/pipermail/alsa-devel/2008-March/006914.html Reported on the results of the various "sox" tests in that article last night. For all of the above, I need to mention I am/was running an unpatched 2.6.25-rc7 kernel. "cat /proc/interrupts" shows absolutely no interrupt activity for the ES1888.

Let me boot on the kernel with the "miata_no_mmap" patch and give that a spin. I'll report back shortly. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Bob Tracy | "I was a beta tester for dirt.
