I'm still having sound problems with 2.1.105
MB is Tyan Tomcat IV, running 2xIntel Pentium 200 MMX, SMP kernel.
Sound card in question is original Creative Labs SBPro (w/OPL3)
Yes, it is real SBPro, despite that sound driver complains that it might not
be. It worked flawlessly in 2.0.x (well, it was not SMP board back then,
tohugh)

problems are as follows: it starts playing sound, but anything, like rapidly
changing virtual consoles will make it stop, try to continue and then die
with 'Sound: DMA (output) timed out - IRQ/DRQ config error?'

DMA and IRQ are both OK. (note that there is also GUS driver, which is not
drived by OSS but by ultra-2.72a package and works great).
