Yes, this describes my setup to a T. I have also heard about others
experiencing this problem, but I suspect that one of the following
situations hold:-
a) The hang is due to a bug in SoundBlaster's drivers and we can find
a simple, 100% reproducible code example to submit to Creative Labs.
b) The hang is due to a bug in SoundBlaster's drivers and we can find
a workaround in our code that avoids the problem.
c) The hang is due to a bug in the Freeamp code and it only shows up
due to an idiosyncracy in SoundBlaster's drivers.
I only see this hang with Freeamp. Quake3 runs like a champ, as do other
apps like CoolEdit, RealPlayer, Windows Media Player, etc.

Well... :) The PMO model does not mesh well with DirectSound, nor are you
happy with the soundcard PMO. Would generalizing the PMO model help at
all?
