Well, hate to add to the "me-too" category, but I have a MAD16 card and
while I don't have any quality problems the IRQ/DRQ timeouts are very
frequent at high sampling rates or when under load. P180MMX shouldn't
have much trouble with this, didn't before somewhere in the 2.1.90s. I
tried adjusting some of the
fudge factors in the code for the timeout values, but it doesn't seem to
help. The interrupt just isn't getting serviced fast enough.
