Well, the kernel OSS driver for the i8x0-family AC97 sound chips really, really sucks. The ALSA driver seems to fix the problem - comparing it to another system (using the XMMS tone generator) the sound is correct - however, there is one problem. mmap()ing the emulated OSS device doesn't work. I've had this work on other systems in the past using ALSA's OSS emulation, and a look at the source says the code is there, but I get EIO (Input/output error) anytime a game (quake2, quake3) tries to mmap() it. I'm using the Debian alsa-source deb to build the kernel modules against 2.4.18 (the deb is version 0.9+0beta12-3). Are there patches that fix this? If debugging is needed, please give me some idea which source files I should look in to add debugging printk()s.
