Similar setup here:

0000:00:00.0 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8377 [KT400/KT600
AGP] Host Bridge
0000:00:01.0 PCI bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8235 PCI Bridge

			--and--

0000:00:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc.
VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 50)

		--but also of note--

0000:00:0b.0 Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3c905 100BaseTX
[Boomerang]

That ethernet card completely wrecks my sound setup, the problem is
moderately well documented on the LKML and google in general.  ogg123
doesn't give me the ALSA underrun errors that you provide in your follow
up post but my problem is almost precisely the same.  Do you have a 3Com
card with a similar chipset?

Some additional details of my system:

Linux jupiter 2.6.5-jupiter-1090131120 #1 Sun Jul 18 02:21:09 EDT 2004
i686 GNU/Linux

Debian Sarge

dave@jupiter:~$ grep SND /boot/config-`uname -r`|grep y
CONFIG_SND=y
CONFIG_SND_TIMER=y
CONFIG_SND_PCM=y
CONFIG_SND_RAWMIDI=y
CONFIG_SND_OSSEMUL=y
CONFIG_SND_MPU401_UART=y
CONFIG_SND_AC97_CODEC=y
CONFIG_SND_VIA82XX=y

(Monolithic Kernel)

If you find a software solution could you please post it to the list or
CC me on it?  As it is I will be removing that net card at my next
reboot.

Thanks,

-Dave

room door that read, "There is No Escape". When I told my therapist he
said I was, "Out of Control". I decided he was an EMACS user.
