In both 90pre3 and 2.1.90, I've been getting some odd
results with the SB driver modules.

It seems to be trashing the whole module system within
the kernel when the driver is unloaded. After either
kmod tries to remove it, or I rmmod it manually. I get this:

root@darkstar:~# lsmod
Module Size Used by
lsmod: QM_INFO: No such file or directory
root@darkstar:~# rmmod sb.o
rmmod: QM_REFS: No such file or directory

Incidentally, rmmod'ing the sb drivers results in either
a segfault, or an oops/kernel panic.

Even stranger: sometimes, when the sb driver is loaded,
something seems to be getting misconfigured -- MIDI works,
but playing wav's/mp3's and other DAC sounds is very
choppy. I see messages saying that IRQ/DMA aren't
correct -- but I dont have a PnP card, and I havent
changed any settings (either on the card or in conf.modules)

Other times, the sound plays perfectly fine. Still, it
tears up the kernel on unload.
