Yes, crackling especially when I play a network game.  I did not
initially suspect the network card, I suspected the video card.  But
I noticed that the soundcard was IRQ sharing with eth0.  That's what
convinced me.

The chipset is an SiS651, which is supposed to be based on the SiS648,
but has a lot of integrated peripherals.

Unfortunately it is an intergrated card.  And I have been unable to
tell the BIOS to give this card a seperate IRQ.
