I am getting the following messages printed to the kernel log, apparently
coming from Luigi's new sound driver (I updated to the latest version):

FIOASYNC
(A WHOLE LOT of messages that just say "FIOASYNC", then)
timeout flushing dbuf_out.chan, cnt 0x4ac flags 0x00000641                      

I'm also seeing this:

sorry, read DMA channel unavailable
sorry, read DMA channel unavailable
...

These messages usually only show up during fairly heavy system load (i.e.
when I'm doing a lot in X and the system is swapping, and I also have
timidity playing a MIDI file or am playing a game that uses sound). Maybe
this has something to do with it?

The system is FreeBSD 2.2.5-RELEASE.  It's a home-built Pentium 133
machine running on a motherboard (don't know what brand) with 256K
pipeline L2 cache, the motherboard chipset is the VIA VT 82C586VP (I think
they call it the "Apollo VP-1") (rev 35).

Disks on this system include:
PRI MAS (wd0): Maxtor DiamondMax 4.3GB Ultra DMA 33
SEC MAS (wd2): Western Digital Caviar 2.1GB (PIO Mode 4)
SCSI controller: Adaptec AHA-2940AU UltraSCSI PCI
SCSI 0 (sd0): IBM 0662 Fast SCSI-2
SCSI 1 (sd1): Iomega Jaz drive

Sound card is a Sound Blaster ViBRA16C PnP card.
