Yes, just nuke this out from isa.c:isa_dmastatus and you will be okay,

 
        /* channel active? */
        if ((dma_inuse & (1 << chan)) == 0) {
            /*          printf("isa_dmastatus: channel %d not active\n", chan);
                                return(-1); */  
        }

        /* still busy? */
        if ((dma_busy & (1 << chan)) == 0) {
            /*          return(0); */
        }


Next release of the sound driver will not use isa_dmastatus from isa.c
rather I will duplicate the functionality in the sound driver.
