Hi Takashi.

I have two soundcards in my machine; a snd-cs46xx card and a snd-cs4236 
card, which has always worked nicely. Today though I tried swapping the 
snd-cs46xx one for a snd-es1968 one, and this does not work.

The second I modprobe snd-es1968, snd-cs4236 stops working. If I'm 
listening to snd-cs4236 at the time I get the last second or so repeated 
over and over again. Killing the app that was playing via kill -9 works 
and stops the repeating sound but does not repair things: when I try to 
use snd-cs4236 again after that, it's still the same -- I only get the 
first second or so repeated over and over.

ALSA code is kernel 2.6.14.3 (1.0.10rc1). I just now tried checking 
standalone ALSA 1.0.10, but unfortunately its snd-cs4236 won't load at 
all. The machine oopses on "modprobe snd-cs4236" with the attached 
backtrace.

That last one seems a problem in snd-cs4236, but the earlier problem is 
likely in snd-es1968 -- as said, snd-cs4236 + snd-cs46xx work fine 
together. Moreover, I could swear earlier snd-cs46xx crashed in the same 
way as snd-cs4236 does when inserting snd-es1968, although I can't seem 
to reproduce this right now.

Thanks in advance for any probing...

Rene.
