CSA Driver Issues

Hello,

I have been having a couple of problems with the driver (I believe
anyway).

First problem I have had is when I boot my system (dual boot system) into
windows and then reboot into FreeBSD. FreeBSD doesn't seem to detect the
sound card at all and I can no use it. However if I fully shut down my
system from windows and then power it on the sound works fine of course.
Seems like windows is leaving the card in a state that FreeBSD can not
recover from. I'm not sure what can be done about this.

My second and more important problem is recently I installed gnomemeeting.
When I tryed to send audio it was all garbled on the other end. At first I
thought this might be a simple codec problem so I headed over to
irc.gnome.org/#gnomemeeting and had a talk with them. I eventually tryed
there audio test where it records and sound bit and plays it back locally.
This sound bit also sounded garbled. This leaves me to believe it is
either a mixer config problem or a driver problem.

Here is my mixer configuration:

Mixer vol      is currently set to  75:75
Mixer pcm      is currently set to  75:75
Mixer speaker  is currently set to  75:75
Mixer line     is currently set to   0:0
Mixer mic      is currently set to   0:0
Mixer cd       is currently set to   0:0
Mixer rec      is currently set to  80:80
Mixer line1    is currently set to   0:0
Mixer phin     is currently set to   0:0
Mixer phout    is currently set to   0:0
Mixer video    is currently set to   0:0
Mixer monitor  is currently set to   0:0

and here is my dmesg info for the card:
pcm0: <CS461x PCM Audio> on csa0
pcm0: <Cirrus Logic CS4297B ac97 codec>
