Re: Sound module for Arcom embedded SBC (also Advantech PCM-5822)

You're right.  And I did.  I should've mentioned that....  my question should 
have been:  Is there a *better* sound drive to use than the sb.o under 
Linux/Windows, as the sound quality is identical (crap).  I've tried 
alternate cables, and multiple boards (I'm swimming in single board computers 
here!!)... and it's definitely not a single-board issue... it's happening 
across all of them, under multiple OSes.

Also hooked up the Advantech PCM-5822 board and I'm getting the same sound 
quality - I'm wondering if it's a NS Geode / Media GX issue, as being an 
all-in-one CPU/media chip, the Geodes/GXs generate a lot of service level 
interrupts whenever they're called upon to do things like emulate VESA video, 
etc.  It certainly affects framebuffer VESA performance under Linux, and I'm 
wondering if the same holds true for audio.
