I have some NetBSD-1.1-i386 boxes (486 & Pentium), with "SB16-Value" 
audio cards.

With GENERICADP kernel (includes sb driver), when I cat .au files
to /dev/audio, I get:
	- with some machines, the proper music but in a very choppy
	  way, with a lot of static.
	- with others: no sound at all.

(The same .au files play well with the same system and a GUS sound card)

Apparently there are no obvious IRQ/IOBASE/DMA conficts.

Is SB16 well-supported with sb driver in 1.1 version?
Is there something I missed?


Jose.
