Hi All,

    Found the problem (or at least, found the area that it's in); it's
tied to the oss driver used for this laptop in the 2.6 kernel.  I went
back to a 2.4 series kernel and the sound is perfect, but, of course,
the emulation for qemu is now ~much~ slower *sighs* (I didn't realise
just how much of a performance boost 2.6 was giving me!).  Ah well,
can't have everything, can we?  :)   Alsa sound works perfectly in 2.6,
but myself not really understanding the audio code in qemu at all and
not being particularly familiar with alsa I'm afraid that I'm not the
person to try coding up an output driver for it...  :-/  *looks around
hopefully*  ;)
