Hmm, someone posted something about Sunray stuff before. Apparently
the /dev/dsp emulation is, let's say, not really stellar. This is most
likely just another bug like this in the sunray drivers and I fear you
have to sit down with a debugger yourself to find the bug, since I
cannot really help you from remote.
