I'm glad it work for your Oliver - I'm in the same boat as Hans N and **MANY**
that can't get the HDA sound card to work with the OSS drivers due to serious
issues (well, it panics :) ). shared interrupts, and I can't figure out WHAT
it's sharing it's interrupts with ... :-/
the next item in my oss to-do (whenever I get around to get back into testing
it) is to try and older version of the oss driver - it seems the latest one is
more prone to problems.
