ISA interrupts on Alpha (PAS16)



I'm having some problems with an ISA Pro Audio Spectrum 16 card on a DEC
AlphaPC164LX motherboard.  I have configured the kernel (2.1.125) to use
both the PAS and its Sound Blaster emulator. (2 audio devices).  However,
when I attempt to use the PAS I get the following error:

Oct 16 02:49:45 draal kernel: Sound: DMA (output) timed out - IRQ/DRQ config error?

When I attempt to use the SB emulation of the card I get:

Oct 16 02:52:10 draal kernel: Sound: DMA (output) timed out - IRQ/DRQ config error?
Oct 16 02:52:10 draal kernel: Sound: Error. Audio interrupt (0) after freeing buffers.
Oct 16 02:52:11 draal last message repeated 79 times

The obvious answer is that I've got the IRQ and/or DMA configured
wrong...but I don't (I've checked several times, both the SB and PAS are
configured properly wrt IRQ/DMA).  After playing several files,
/proc/interupts reveals: 

(0)<root@draal:/root> cat /proc/interrupts
 1:       3496   keyboard
 4:       2397 + serial
 5:         25   soundblaster
 8:     670187   timer
10:          0   PAS16
16:       6755   BusLogic BT-958
17:       9279   eth0

Could there be a general problem with ISA interrupts on this board?

thanks,
