>Description:
I have no sound card in my machine, but i wanted to be able to play .au sound files through my pc speaker.  Someone told me about the pca device, which i then enabled in my kernel.  When i try to play a file using "cat soundfile.au > /dev/pcaudio" it plays fine for about a second, then the machine locks up.  I know its not the files because i tried 2 different ones, both of which play fine on my mac.
>How-To-Repeat:
Problem can be repeated by trying to play another sound file :)
