I still get the same `warbling´ when playing over NFS.  It's
a little better perhaps, but still not good.

Futhermore, after the change

I get the same behaviour as when I tried to enable long DMA transfers.
The symptom is that sometimes playing 16 bit sounds just produces
noise.  A little further investigation reveals that the bytes that
are play are swapped (as can easily be heard by playing with `dd conv=swab´).
You can often get in and out of this mode by doing `echo "  " >/dev/sound´
a few times.
