Creative 1371 works perfect on an sx164. I bought my soundcard
together with my friend and he has an sx164. His works, mine not.

echo fdjkghdskjhg >/dev/audio
gives a short noise and generates one interupt. Works perfectly, every
time.
cat foo.wav >/dev/audio
hangs completly. My scsi led stays on for ever. Maybe the sound
collides with the scsi and they both crash the system?
Gotta try with /dev/rand or /dev/zero.
