Sound: DMA (output) timed out - IRQ/DRQ config error?



g'day all -

  I'm running OSS/Free SB16 drivers with my AWE64 on Linux 2.2.10.

  Whenever I try to send anything to /dev/dsp or /dev/audio, I xconsole
shows this message:

spire kernel: Sound: DMA (output) timed out - IRQ/DRQ config error?
(Yes, I've done all the necessary pry-configuration -- isapnp configures the
card correctly, and the modules load fine)

... and I recieve no output from my speakers. Many applications cause this
same situation, such as grip (a graphical CD player/track ripper).
Strangely, however, some applications (notably bb and wine) are able to play
sound without any difficulty.

This strikes me as somewhat odd. Does it sound like an OSS/Free problem?
Should I try alsa or a newer kernel version, perhaps?
