Oh, I understand I could work around the problem in userspace, but that's 
not the point - something broke in the kernel, presumably OSS emulation.
test2 works, test3 doesn't. 

I suspect this changeset:

ChangeSet@xxxxxxxxxxxx  2003-07-28 13:35:31+02:00  perex@cz:/home/perex/bk/linux-sound/linux-sound
