I'll check this one out, but again, i'm not sure how relevent it is to the
SBLive - can't remember off the top of my head whether it uses DMA, and if
it does (do all sound cards ??) what should i do if it uses two.
Thankfully i still dual boot, so i can check all this stuff out in Windows.

My sound problems stopped when I swapped my SB16 for and older ESS1688. (I
have 128M.)
