Another new audio problem in 3.0, that I didn't have in 2.0:

in xmms, seeking in a file while it is playing causes it to stop.
To get it going again one has to play with the pause/unpause button.
That sometimes plays a brief bit of noise.

This happens both on my desktop system:

auvia0 at pci0 dev 17 function 5: VIA Technologies VT8237 AC'97 Audio
(rev 0x60)
auvia0: interrupting at ioapic0 pin 22 (irq 5)
auvia0: ac97: Avance Logic ALC850 codec; no 3D stereo
auvia0: ac97: ext id 9c6<AC97_23,LDAC,SDAC,CDAC,SPDIF,DRA>
audio0 at auvia0: full duplex, independent

and my laptop:

auvia0 at pci0 dev 17 function 5: VIA Technologies VT82C686A AC'97 Audio
(rev 0x40)
auvia0: interrupting at irq 9
auvia0: ac97: VIA Technologies VT1612A codec; headphone, 18 bit DAC, 18
bit ADC, KS Waves 3D
auvia0: ac97: ext id 201<AMAP,VRA>
audio0 at auvia0: full duplex, mmap, independent
