-How do I check to see if interrupts are generated during playback?
-What about the hardware configuration do you want to know?
-PnP OS is enabled at the moment, since well linux 2.4 is supposed to be
a pnp os ... no?

Output from /proc/pci

Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8233 AC97 Audio
Controller (rev 80).
IRQ 6.
I/O at 0xe000 [0xe0ff].

My MoBo is an Asus Via KT400

I am using the following kernel args:
root=LABEL=/ hdc=ide-scsi pci=biosirq

I am using the following in my modules.conf:
options snd-via82xx index=0 id="VIA"

What should I check for in /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/sub0?

I've updated to the current cvs as of this morning.

There is the way things work now. :-) 

xmms w/xmms-alsa: Works fine, no noticeable problems currently, although
I really didn't listen to much music today.

xmms w/oss support: plays a track fine, but when the track ends there is
a problem with the track either sputtering or repeating the last X
seconds (X = 1 or 2 seconds) over and over again for about 30 seconds.

aplay: same repeat problem describer earlier.

realplayer (uses OSS IIRC): Skipping and repeating either during a
track, at the end or in the beginning.
