 Hi,
 
 I did notice in 6.99.5 that the audio process mplayer -ao sun:/audio1 your.mp3 
 failed to start and halts when skipping audio in mplayer and caused a system 
 reset on me.  Three distinct problems that are related.
 
 If you try mplayer -ao oss all is fine but with the sun driver -ao sun the 
 audio process dosen't start sometimes and the mplayer and cat /dev/pad 
 processes freeze and cant be killed.
 
 Also if you skip audio in the mplayer process if audio starts by pressing up 
 arrow or right arrow the output freezes and sometimes the process can be 
 killed.
 
 What I did was to apply the same patch as in kern/45776 which affected 
 start_output on btsco audio and it fixed the problem.
 
 I hope this helps.
 
 Regards,
 
 Nat.
