VIA sound chipset

[francisco m neto <einstein@socrates.if.usp.br>]

	Hi there,

		I'm having some problems trying to have sound working on some machines which have the via89xxx chipset. When using kernel 2.2.x, mpg123, for example, will play a mp3 file at a higher rate than the normal, i.e., it will sound "faster". When using kernel 2.4.x, it won't even play the file, complaining about "not finding any supported rates". Does anyone have some experience with this chipset?
		Thank you,
