Well, I built a 2.6.22 kernel last night, and in tests this morning there's no difference relative to the ALSA behavior seen in 2.6.25-rc4.
Okay. If someone is tracking this as a 2.6.25 regresion, it can be stricken of that list.
Since the question came up (or was strongly implied), I took the time to check the status of IRQ 5 in /proc/interrupts, and while it shows up as assigned to the sound card, no interrupts are being seen/processed by the es18xx driver.
That is indeed what it soundeed like, or the first bit at least.
When I remove the snd-es18xx module and install the snd-sb8 module with the same parameters (other than there's no second DMA channel), the /proc/interrupts counter for IRQ 5 increments as expected when playing sound files.
What does cat /proc/config.gz | grep CONFIG_ALPHA_ say? Miuchael, and for you? For some Alpha configs, arch/alpha/kernel/es1888.c is compiled and for some not. I expect for you (Bob) it's compiled in? And Michael?
Rene.
