Bug Report
----------
1. 128M memory OK, but with 192M the sound card generate a noise while
use the DSP.
2. i got the problem when I just put more 64M memory to the my machine.
With 128M the problem is not present, but with 192M it is. The only
difference is the memory quantity, or in other words, the additional slot
occupied by the new memory card.

i've got the two dmesg, with 128M and with 192M.
With the kernel 2.2.18 don't problem.

the problem: The sound card generates a toc.. toc.. toc .. toc...while
playing a sound using the DSP of the soundcard. Two "tocs"/sec
aproxiumadetely.

i think that be a irq problem.

3. es1371, sound card, kernel 2.4
4. Linux version 2.4.1-pre8 (root@thor.gds-corp.com) (gcc version 2.95.3
19991030 (prerelease)) #2 Wed Jan 17 19:44:31 BRST 2001
Tested too with the 2.4.0 official kernel.
5. No Oops.

7.Hardware
- Pentium III 600Mhz Coppermine 133Mhz FSB, mounted with SLOTA
(or
slot 1) to socket 770 adaptor.
- ASUS P299 (Chipset i440ZX). Note: the i440ZX don't support officially
the coppermine processor at 133Mhz FSB.
- 100Mhz memory modules. 2 modules in the 2 slots provided by the
motherboard. One of 128M and the other 64M.
- Sound card creative. es1391 chipset.
