>Description:
I'm using an Alpha PC164 with an original SB16 ISA-PnP card.  When 
playing mp3's, with either xmms 1.0.1 or mpg123q, I randomly get LOUD
static instead of the expected output.  If the song starts fine, it will
play fine in its entirety.  The problem happens at random when you first
try to play an mp3.  If you stop it and try again, it usually plays just
fine.  I'm simply doing a "device pcm" in my kernel config file.
The card is detected and initialized just fine.  dmesg produces:

sbc0: <Creative ViBRA16X> at port 0x220-0x22f,0x330-0x331,0x388-0x38b irq 5 drq 
1,3 on isa0
sbc0: setting card to irq 5, drq 1, 3
sbc0: interrupting at ISA irq 5
pcm0: <SB DSP 4.16 (ViBRA16X)> on sbc0

For what it's worth, I reported this problem on the freebsd-alpha
mailing list, and another user said he has the identical problem on
an *intel* box with the same soundcard, so this may not be alpha
specific.

>How-To-Repeat:
Play a series of mp3's with xmms.  It will eventually hit a song and 
play LOUD static.  Stopping it and hitting play again, and typically 
it will then play fine.
Or, play the same mp3 repeatedly with mpg123.  On average, 1 out of 5
times it will screech static and has to be interrupted.
