2.1.126, 2.1.127pre2 sound problems continue

The sound code is broken in 2.1.126 and 2.1.127pre2 for other programs
besides quake. Direct output to /dev/dsp works fine, as does x11amp.
However, xgal also has problems - it outputs no sound whatsoever.

My theory is that xgal is opening /dev/dsp read-write as quake is, and
therefore is getting a full duplex connection, causing it to fail on
16-bit sound output. Any ideas here? Is this a kernel problem or a
problem with xgal? I suspect the kernel, as it worked flawlessly in
kernel <= 2.1.125.
