I tried:
2.4.17, VIA support, DMA on/off, 32 bit access on/off 2.4.18, VIA support, DMA on/off, 32 bit access on/off 2.4.18 with ide patches from linux-ide.org, VIA support on and off
all with same results - audio ripping is VERY slow and there is a lot of 'lost interrupt' messages in syslog.
I didn't dare to try 2.5.x as it seems like there's lot of changes related to IDE and there were some problems with currupting HD...
