It'd be helpful if someone can summarize the working and non-working cases. For example,
global info: 0. SBXFI model (product name, PCI ID, PCI SSID, cat /proc/asound/cards entry)
- sbxfi driver version (date & HEADs)
- base_rate value
- system details (x86-64, distro, kernel version, etc)
for each app: A. Application name / version B. working or not-working, problem descriptions C. ALSA or OSS (you can see it in /proc/asound/card*/pcm0/sub0/hw_params) D. period_size and buffer_size (ditto, or in kernel message) E. any special options
Maybe also nice on Wiki...
Hi,

Enemy Territory Quake Wars worked but crashed after a couple of minutes. Graphics card is new so can't be sure what happened.
If I set Gnome to use OSS I can get sound from Rhythmbox.
Sorry to tag this on to the end of this message, the problems below are likely of my own causing rather than the sbxfi driver...
I'm investigating why when I select alsa or pulse in Gnome I get an error on clicking the test button. "audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open audio device for playback." Selecting OSS and clicking test I hear the sine wave. But I cannot hear any desktop effect noises or the system bell. Same issue with KDE. I hear the log on tune but nothing else from the desktop itself. Possibly my machine is just too messed up and needs a re-install, it's been upgraded continuously from around FC3 and could do with an overhaul.
