In this particular case, I doubt if it is the sound code itself, but rather something that happens when the sound code in the kernel, or the modprobe, goes poking about on the bus.
I suspect it could be in the IRQ routing area as well, but, it is beyond my capabilities to diagnose or correct that part of the code...

Thanks, Alan. erchoing the call for alpha gurus?
