With regard to the sound driver, the es18xx does endless looping on the fir=

then, though, I believe it still only works in 8bit mode.

The sb8 driver also works for me.  For this reason, I basically decided to=

forget about my es18xx patch.  It doesn't get me anything the sb8 driver=20
doesn't give me, and it forces me to keep compiling my own kernels.

PS:  The Debian 2.6.24 kernel actually panicked on me (instead of infinitel=

looping on the first second of sound) when I tried the stock es18xx driver.
