mixed results after the Dec 30 sound MFC to stable

[Claude Buisson]

Hello all,

I updated a number of 6.0-stable systems from a Dec 26 cvsup to a Jan 9
cvsup, and got mixed results.

First, the good news:

1. No sound problem on a Dell Inspiron 9300 (ICH6) with snd_ich.ko

2. Small problem on a Dell Dimension 4550 + Sound Blaster Live! with
snd_emu10k1.ko:

when "catting" sound files to /dev/audio or /dev/dsp the sound was
vveerryy ssllooww.., but everything was fine with esdplay, xmcd, or
firefox + java or flashplugin6

This problem seems to be corrected by MFCing today update 1.91 of dsp.c

Now, for the bad news:

No sound at all on a (oldish) Compaq Armada 3500 with an OEMed ES1869.
No progress after the MFCing of dsp.c 1.91

Everything is fine after reverting the sound sources to the pre Dec 30
state: catting files, esdplay, firefox 1.07 native + java 1.4.2 native +
linux flashplayer 6, or linux firefox 1.5 + linux sun java 1.4.2 + linux
flashplayer 7.

Here are an kldstat output:
