Rechecked more carefully with original drivers/sound/i810_audio.c from 2.4.12-ac5.

Sound practically doesn't work under KDE-2.2.1. For example I'm getting only 
some garbled sound for a very short time when I'm trying sound test in kcontrol. 
Maybe these problems are due to non blocking output to /dev/sound/dsp 
which artsd is using. Here is fragment from strace output for artsd

Sound seems to work mostly Ok under GNOME and also with Mozilla-0.95+RealPlayer
