Switching snd_emu10kx1 doesn't make difference. In fact, all of a
sudden, the onboard fxp(4) (which I don't use) shows exactly the same
behaviour (and I have seen this happen the nVidia driver as well). This
makes me believe the problems is elsewhere, and not in emu10k1/emu10kx
at all.

I will update my machine to the latest CURRENT and see how that goes.
Could the recently-added MSI changes perhaps contribute to this odd
behaviour? It looks to me either my machine is broken (even though
Windows XP works fine on it), or something changed in CURRENT.

To be continued...
