   Well, you seem to have a sound chip that emulates both SB and WSS.
   Try building a kernel without SB support and see check if WSS works
   right.  You don't want to use the SB 3.01 emulation since it's only 8 bit
   sound.

That is exactly what I had to do on my Toshiba Portege.  Watch the DMA
channels and IRQ settings.  The default BIOS settings did not match the
GENERIC kernel settings for the wss config entry [the IRQ was different
and the channels were backwards, if I remember correctly].  The SB
emulation mode is pretty bad.
