I know I'm not adding to the solution, but whenever *I* play 8bit
.au's i get pauses all the time, as if the kernel was buffering and
waiting for the card. This happens with realaudio, rplay, cat>/dev/audio,
au etc... i remember seeing a thread about it on usenet but I lost it
and now my newsservers is committing grand suckage. I tried searching
the database and the FAQ, but came out with nothing. Oi! 
(And I'm running 2.2 so don't tell me to upgrade <grrr>)

ps, the card is a soundblaster 16(?) PnP multimedia schtick. nothing 
unusual, i think
