Running the onboard sound from an ASUS nForce2 mobo.  Very very nice
sound on the XP side of the fence ... so I doubt that's the specific
issue.

I have managed to get *some* of it working .. I've configured XMMS to
use esd and now it's playing nice.  Well, mostly .. if I run XMMS and
play Frozen Bubble, then it's all good .. if I run XMMS and play UT (not
UT2004 mind), then it's back to a silent game.
