} Care to elaborate on the problem that you are having with the GUS PnP?

It has always looped until you kill the process doing the playing.  At
the moment it just plays garbage forever and displays this on the console:

	isa_dmastart: channel 3 busy

Before it would play the first selection over and over until you killed
it.  Then if you played another selection that was smaller it would
play it first, then the remaining part of the previous selection
that was still in the buffer and then loop forever.

I've added a Cyclades serial card and switched ether cards which may
account for the change in symptoms.  It has never worked right, through
a number of different versions of FreeBSD.

More than you wanted to know:
