Hi,

I've just upgraded a machine to a new MB (ATX w/ K6-2 500) with
the same hard drives and sound card.  I remade the fbsd 4.0
kernel with the pcm driver.

Problem is that when I "play soundfile.{au,wav}" I get a garbled
noise for just a moment, then the commandprompt hangs until the
process times out, if it ever does.  The sound device is busy
until then, and there is no more sound.  Usually, there is not
even an initial garbled bleep.  Just silence until the CLI
process times out.

Here are the particulars:

kernel
