Aha! That must be why my sound card sometimes has problems (particularly under MSDOG; I've never seen the problems with USS Lite, but OTOH I don't generally play sound-heavy games under Linux...) I do have an oldish VLB motherboard, after all. But that's life, and I'm getting a new computer for college in 2 or 3 months anyway. (Speaking of which, does anyone have any particular recommendations? If so, please send them directly to me or to <linux-offtopic@binary9.net> rather than polluting linux-kernel. Thanks.)
