 Things getting messy. There are few codecs did not cooperate well. Can
 you please try these patches, and tell me which one is working for
 you, or none of it:
 
 http://staff.mybsd.org.my/skywizard/FreeBSD/sound/ac97.c.head.diff1
 http://staff.mybsd.org.my/skywizard/FreeBSD/sound/ac97.c.head.diff2
 
 They may look simmilar, but the first one is a little bit aggresive
 against notorious codecs.
 
 (the quest for 'one size fits them all' will carry on and I hope you
 can bear with me)
