Well, I'm having problems with sound in all kernels since
2.1.130 up to 2.1.131-ac7, the problem is that when I play a sound
file through /dev/dsp it works nice, but when I record from it the
device get busy forever, I'm not able to play on it again, although
the process which access the device finish normally.
I suppose it have something to do with new SB full duplex support
(I have an AWE32) but I have no idea if it is a kernel problem or a user
space problem (I have tried to record with brec, snd, xwave and directly
with cat, and all gave the same problem so it's probably a kernel problem)
