That produces good sound. Trying "sox jesus.au -t ossdsp /dev/dsp" also gives
usable output, but not great. But that may just be a bad recording (I just did a
quick search on the web for a sound file and found this one, so it may not be a
good test file).

Except that "splay wls.wav" works. Maybe splay can't handle .au files?

Just for kicks, I just recompiled my kernel again, taking out the ES1370 support
and leaving only the ES1371 support. Now on boot-up I got:
es1371: version v0.11 time 13:52:44 Feb 16 2000
es1371: found adapter at io 0x1080 irq 11
es1371: features: joystick 0x0
es1371: codec vendor CRY revision 3
es1371: codec features Headphone out 18bit DAC 18bit ADC
es1371: stereo enhancement: no 3D stereo enhancement
and a little further down is:
es1371: dma timed out??
es1371: dma timed out??
es1371: dma timed out??
Thanks for the help!
