eSound problem with old SB16

[Jan Pfeifer <janpf@iname.com>]

hi,

sorry if this question is out of topic, but maybe this is a
configuration problem and someone may help me ... :)

I have an old SB16, which works great when used by OSS driver.
When I try to use eSound for multiplexing, it sounds 
broken, as if it were playing a scratched old LP. Even if only one
client (XMMS, freeamp, or the gnome sounds) is using the "esd"
daemon. The exception is the mpg123-esd player, which seems to work
fine. 

I just can't figure out the reason for the bug, anyone has any hint about what
could be causing it ? 

thanx 

:-)

ps.: my machine is an Athlon650, so I guess speed is not the problem,
nor memory. 

ps2.: I'm using the 2.4.0-test9 kernel

ps2.: "$ dmesg" regarding the sound driver:
