Sound problems on an SMP system

[David Carter <dcarter@visi.com>]

Hi everyone,

I have a dual-CPU system (two Socket 370 Celerons overclocked to 500MHz)
running SuSE 6.2.  After I compiled an SMP kernel (2.2.12 w/ crypto patch),
I tried to get sound working.  When I try to load the modules for my AWE64,
it gives this error:

root@schizo:/home/dcarter > insmod sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=5
mpu_io=0x330
Using /lib/modules/2.2.12SMP/misc/sb.o

I'm using isapnp to configure the card to IRQ5, DMA0: 1 DMA1: 5 io: 0x220,
0x330

There was talk in kernel traffic about unresolved SMP issues with the kernel
sound code, so I was curious if anyone had any other solution for sound with
an SMP kernel.  ALSA would be nice, if I could find up-to-date installation
info (the SRPM from SuSE doesn't compile...).

I'd really appreciate any troubleshooting ideas, or alternatives for sound.
I'd like to avoid buying an OSS license if possible, since the AWE64 is
usually so well supported by the free drivers.  (I haven't taken the time to
install the OSS demo yet, so I don't know if it works.)

	Thanks...
	David
