    I've managed to bring up the sound correctly. Seems the SB Live needs to
    run at a 48Khz sample rate, and ran well at 16bit. Even though it's a
    24-bit card, that's all the drivers support at this point.

    But now that the K test sound works, XMMS is having issues. Go figure.

    Hi all,

    This has nothing to do with LS development but is important for our HW
    compatibility. I have a SoundBlaster Live! card that is discovered and
    configured by alsaconf, but when I try to play sound from it, the sound is
    choppy.

    I've read lots of things about the SoundBlaster Live and ALSA, and
    understand that the drivers aren't fully there yet, but they do work
    partially. But what would make sound output choppy, in your experience?
