[plug] Sound card

[Kai]

OK, lets correct that last one....

The sound worked fine for about 40 minutes, now I get the same errors as
always:
linux kernel: Sound: DMA (input) timed out - IRQ/DRQ config error?
and
last message repeated [inster number here] times

Might throw it out the window, that may help the problem.
