Finally got RC3 of Alsa to build and still the same

[Adam Myrow]

I got RC3 of Alsa to build by specifying that it only build support for my
sound card.  I did a "./configure --with-sequencer=yes --with-cards=sbawe"
and that left out the offending code.  However, it acts exactly like Beta
12 did.  It still slows the sound down to a crawl randomly, and now I've
figured out that it also randomly makes recordings into noise.  I am
absolutely disgusted with Alsa.  I don't think it's ready for production
and including it in the kernel is a very bad idea IMHO if this is its
current state.  Given that it has had several years to develop, I would
expect something usable by now, but as far as I'm concerned, it is
completely useless.  I don't know how you guys have ever gotten any good
out of the thing.  Maybe it's just broken with the AWE64.
