Aha, but you wrote something about ATI Mach and Radeon in 1st post :)

So be lucky, but I'm nearly 100% sure it's due to your older mobo/chipset not soundcard itself. I have SB Live which also have SB emulation, on prev. 440BX mobo it worked fine, now not. I also tried MediaForte FM801 which was noticed to work by Eric Auer but for me not and also CMI 8738 - the same. Even I have mb with ISA but no ISA soundcard works there because of intel removed necessary signals from ICH6 and newer to implement ISA DMA for PCI-ISA bridge. Simply intel has decided to vanish all legacy stuffs from PC.

Not yet. I usualy have problems when compiling big projecsts, e.g. I wanted recompile CVS RHIDE with repaired RHGDB but gave it up. Also others on yahoo DJGPP group didn't compiled it. The only reason for which I should try to compile mplayer would be to implement SB live driver from mpxplay (which is mix of ASM and OpenWatcom) and it would be quite complex task without knowledges of both compilers and even no time to spend it on...
