This surely addresses the reversed stereo problem. I never
got into this area in the sound driver before taking this
challenge.
I'll be happy if it gets tested in other configuration before it
gets into the kernel (the problem was there in kernels 2.1.41 through
2.1.90... two more weeks wouln't hurt much).
Note: kernel 2.1.90 introduces some new sound problems.
I experienced some ticking sound what playing sounds using
memory mapped interface. There's also the problem of Opps
when unloading the sound driver. I do not have fixes for these
problems.
