: At first GETBLKSIZE have nothing common with on-board ROMs and RAMs,
: it simple write buffer matching with DMA buffer for device.
: -current implements now contiguous DMA for sounddriver, so
: get you full 64K buffer.

: KNACK looks like dsp reset occurse, it is known problem with old
: sounddriver. You can comment all dsp_resets or got -current sounddriver.

hmmm i've tried 1.1-RELEASE and saw, that has the old drivers...
(KNACK..KNACK...)

is there a chance to move -current-snd-driver into RELEASE? 
(patch or someting?)
only changing sources for snd doesnt work (you know that, i think ...)
