>Description:
	Something about the fixes for silence playback and/or block size
adjustments cause the GUS driver to cease consuming audio buffers and
continuously loop the current audio driver until interrupted, and then
it takes a minute to drain (normal drain timeout).

>How-To-Repeat:
	send 44kHz x 16bit x 2 channel sound to the card, and do other
things on the system.  It'll hang.

>Fix:
	I don't know yet, I will look at it & fix it, but I wanted to
file this as a warning to others with GUS cards.
