Found that i810_audio has been broken in kernel 2.4.20-pre4-ac1. It was Ok with
2.4.20-pre1-ac1 I used before.

With 2.4.20-pre4-ac1 I'm only getting garbled sound and kernel messages (see below).
Didn't have time yet to study mire detailed which change breaks driver.

In Alan's changelog I see:

2.4.20-pre2-ac5: Further i810_audio updates for 845 (Juergen Sawinski)
2.4.20-pre1-ac3: Tidy up error paths on i810_audio init (Alan)
2.4.20-pre1-ac2: First set of i810 audio updates (Doug Ledford)

--------- error message from artsd (KDE-3.1 beta1) -------
Sound server fatal error:
AudioSubSystem::handleIO: write failed
len = 3228, can_write = 4096, errno = 17 (File exists)
This might be a sound hardware/driver specific problem (see aRts FAQ)

Kernel was compiled with gcc-3.1 (like earlier kernels where i810_audio worked
Ok)
