Dear Sindi,

These are the results of 'less /proc/interrupts'

| CPU0 (*) | |
-----+-----------+--------+--------------
0 | 45977 | XT-PIC | timer
1 | 170 | XT-PIC | keyboard
2 | 0 | XT-PIC | cascade
3 | 100 | XT-PIC | serial (modem on COM2)
4 | 904 | XT-PIC | serial (mouse on COM1)
5 | 1 | XT-PIC | soundblaster
13 | 1 | XT-PIC | fpu
14 | 89783 | XT-PIC | ide0
15 | 7 | XT-PIC | ide1
NMI | 0 | |

(*) These numbers varied all the times the test was performed.

I've downloaded 'workbone.tgz' from Slackware 4.0 but I'd forgotten to 'pkg'
it...

Now I have good sound quality for audio CDs, except for the fact of having
only the "R" channel.

"L" is muted somehow with a little "buzzing" in background (not only under
BL3 but also under every other Linuxes I've tried).
I think Windows uses some different proccess, because I can get both
channels with it, but then the sound quality is not "that" bad - but just
fair.

So I suppose something in the SB card is out of order and I'll have to take
a further look on it.

Unhappily the most of my hardware came to me through donations and some
peripherals are very old - others were dead.

I can say the sound (software) is OK and I have learnt a lot, thanks to you.

Since 'workbone' is a non-X application the menu becomes visually strange.
Is there a way of working around it? ( Just for curiousity: This isn't so
important after all ) .

Thanks for your kind attention.

Teixeira
