Hi Fabio,

tested the new module and it - kind of - works. I did a "echo options snd-nm256
reset_workaround=1 > /etc/modprobe.conf". Problem is that there is a click of
about 10HZ. I somehow think the problem is that this machine has too much
cramped on the same interrupt.

I first just renamed the original module but left it in /lib/modules. This I
think resulted in loading the original module instead of the new one. So on
next reboot in single-user-mode I hit ctrl-c while hotplug was loading the
modules and ended up with a system which did not have anything mapped on INT 10.
 Then I moved the original module out of /lib/modules, ran "depmod -a; modprobe
snd-nm256; telinit 3" and got a clear sound (but of course no wireless as e.g.
yenta was not loaded).

Is there a way to force nm256 to use another interrupt or am I on the wrong
track here anyway?
