PCI-X vs sound card issues ...

[Malcolm Herbert <mjch%mjch.net@localhost>]

I'm attempting to set up an audio logging server and have a cast off 2RU
server which I'm trying to get up and running. Initially I installed
from a NetBSD 5.1 Release image without the sound card installed and all
was fine.

When I added the sound card (a Creative Audigy) the kernel successfully
detected the card and found all the appropriate sound devices, including
the firewire port ... unfortunately the bus that the card was attached
to dropped to 33MHz (down from 100MHz - ouch), the kernel immediately
started to complain about hitting mclpool limits and neither of the
onboard NICs functioned ...

So ... I guess my question is this: What sound cards would work with
the 100MHz PCI-X bus and has anyone found these to work with NetBSD?
Unfortunately a USB based solution is out as it's USB1.0 ...

Regards,
Malcolm

Here's a diff of dmesg without and with the card:
