Buggy emu10k1 drivers.

Buggy emu10k1 drivers.

[Dylan Griffiths]

	Hi.  The emu10k1 drivers shipped with 2.2.19 do not work well past 1Ghz. 
In the original system, an Athlon 550, all OSS sound applications worked. 
Loki games, libsdl games, XMMS, mplayer, RealPlayer, and the 'play' command
from the sox pacnage.  When I upgraded my machine to a 1Ghz TBird,
everything except XMMS would hang while the first audio buffer looped
infinitely.  It also fails at 1.1Ghz.  As a control, I enabled the onboard
audio (a C-Media Electronics Inc CM8738 (rev 10)), and was able to use all
the applications listed again (except SDL/Loki games).
	I'd fix it if I knew how since I don't like hearing bus traffic (plus the
CMeda can't play multiple sources) :-/

Please CC me since I am not on the list.

	Kernel 2.4.5 has a working emu10k1 driver (all apps which hung with
2.2.19's driver worked fine, none of the working ones stopped working). 
Could we perhaps see this backported to the 2.2.20 prepatches so that us 2.2
lovers can enjoy working sound?
