That's good to know. The dma-mapping.h patch was innocuous enough
to not worry about bad side-effects -- at worst, it would be unnecessary.
I'll remove it for the next build, whenever that happens.

Well, crud... The "es18xx.c" patch didn't make any difference for me.
Audio output still loops, and the machine still gets hosed (requires
hitting the reset switch to recover after successfully interrupting
"aplay" from the keyboard).
I don't mind being a guinea pig for whatever fix/workaround/troubleshooting
anyone would care to request I try. Recovery of ext3 filesystems is pretty
painless, so at the moment, having to hit the reset switch is merely an
annoyance.
Ideas? Thoughts?
