Having problems with 'pcm' and on-board Crystal Sound

Hi everyone,
I'm having some difficulties with on-board Crystal Audio in IBM's PC model 300PL (I know it's old, but that's what they gave me).
I've been fighting this for many weeks.
I've got three scenarios:
(1) In order to have the 'snd_pcm' be able to see the chips at all, I must include it with the kernel via 'device pcm'. Then we get the following msg on the console every time an app wants to play some sound. Yes every time:
>>>>
pcm0:virtual:0: play interrupt timeout, channel dead
<<<<
(2) If I let the boot loader.conf bring in 'snd_pcm' before the kernel starts, it won't see the sound chips at all.
(3) The OSS driver does see the chips and it does work. But then I must not do #1 above (when snd_pcm is compiled into the kernel, you cannot kldunload it to use OSS instead).
I am tracking 5-Current via CTM, and src & ports are current as of this morning's bucket at the CTM FTP site.
I have a bit of logging to show for each scenario:
-------
(1) Compiling 'device pcm' into the kernel, we can see the chips get detected, as the dmesg shows:

Even tho the Crystal Audio is plug-&-play as can be seen above, the pcm driver missed its chance to detect the WSS/SB ports.
Having the device.hints set for pcm0 does not help.
Doing a kldload later does not help.
There is a /dev/sndstat even tho 'pcm' didn't get registered.

The apps do work only for a while, of course, and a bit shaky at times.
IBM's BIOS is the latest for this model 300PL. It does not let us set IRQs & ports for most things, only to 'disable' them for 'legacy' ISA cards. There are two PCI cards: nVidia/Vanta and Adaptec 2940UW (not U2W). Playing with the PnP settings does not help (10-vs-16 bit addrs, setting device node, etc.).
Could someone direct me with what/how to debug this problem, please? I'm trying to show TPTB how we can use free software, but this sound problem is driving me crazy. (At home I'm a MacOSX user ;) .) And I won't be able to get a license for OSS.
Thank you very much for any help whatsoever.
