Late last nite I 'tried one last thing' and it happened to be the 
solution.  Plug and pray got me.  Since my hauppauge tv card was still
working fine, I figured the hardware was fine.  What I totally forgot
about was the tv card connects with a jumper and doesn't go thru the 
machine at all.  I removed IRQ5 and DMA5 from PnP eligibility and away
it all went.  It started making sense when icecast's shout worked and
mpg123 worked in 'test' mode or to stdout since none of them use the
soundcard.
