Hmm, then it's a bug of AMD/ATI controller chip.

The problem is however likely only about CORB/RIRB addresses, and not about the sample buffers. So setting 32bit there couldn't be the "right" fix.

Yeah, he said so, too. I mistook.

How about the patch below?

I tried but it says

Which version of the source shall I patch ? svn ?
