That's what I have, sounds like, on a "TopGun" motherboard. I use /dev/dsp0 lots, and my machine has never locked up for 2.0.30 or for 2.1.91-2.1.103, using the 8330 as a sb16. Fm sound used to work before 2.1.98 (or thereabouts), but doesn't on more recent kernels.
I've appended below my .conf files and messages I collected when I ran 2.1.96.
What capabilities is it supposed to have as a WSS?
