hi.
turns out the problem was my fault. I had been tweaking the pci latency_timer setting for the sound card using "setpci", I had set it too high and the sound card was hogging the bus, so to speak.
Hope this is helpful for others who might be experiencing this.
Anyway, may I just say that 2.4.22-pre9+ is turning out to be one of the best kernels yet for me.
