OK, I've tried playing 3 mp3 files. They mostly race through one minute's worth in a few seconds with just noisy static sounds. One of them, if I keep trying, will race part way through and then slow down and play properly. It kinda sounds like some sort of conflict (and considering the original problem that it hung gnome/sawfish when window sound events were turned on). As far as I can tell there isn't any config option anywhere for DMA. Here's some info in case anybody can spot a problem. The sound card is using IRQ10. One suspicious thing I notice below in the "dmesg" is "00:03.1 -> irq 10" but I don't know what it refers to.
