Exactly the same as without the -w option. (BTW, I would've never have
guessed the -w option; my man file has -2 for conversion to 16 bit.)

The words "current event" are no longer repeated at the end of playing.
There is a click at the end of playing - hard to know whether it
started to repeat something or whether it is truly at the end of the
sound file.

Repeats the "al" bit of the last word "pal" at the end of playing.

I have another PWS600au - a little older than the one I was testing on.
It is slightly different in that its scsi controller is a separate
board in a PCI slot, rather than on the motherboard. Also has an
ESS1888 rather than an ESS1887. Just installed the same OS and kernel
on it.

Tried playing sound. What a mess. Crashes with mmap on. Installed the
patch turning off mmap. Just produces buzzes and fart noises whatever
sound file I try to play; both with aplay and sox.

Michael.
