Hello,

Well, here is an update.  I have an internal VIA AC'97 soundcard on my
K7V motherboard, and newpcn recognize it under 4.2 and on that card,
the sound is perfect, wheras the sound on my SBLive is alot less
clearer and present constant static.

So I downloaded the trial OSS version (http://www.opensound.com/) and
was plaisantely surprised by the result.  No more crackling.  No more
pops.  No more statics.  It's 30$, but it's worth it.

I know that's not the perfect solution, but it shows that the current
newpcm could be enhanced and that the problem I had were not
hardware-related.

Ciao,
  ...David
