That's fixed in my sources. I'm desperately waiting for Linus to give
me feedback on the syscall changes that I made. As soon as I get his
go-ahead, I'll make my latest patches available.

Actually, I preferred to fix audio.c (or whichever file it was). The
preferred/new method is to use put/get_user, AFAIK.

It does work on the Alpha though:
