	Hello Munish,
	I would realy like to help you and others.  Please describe in
detail the circumstances that create the problem.  Are you
experiencing buffer overruns or underruns?  How many devices are
sharing the IRQ? What are they?  What happens when you cat a raw file
to the device?  Does this happen with VCHANs?  Have you tried the patch
I posted to -current under the heading "sound patch for pop &
crackles"?
	Please read the pcm man page for a better description on how
the answer the above.

	Thanks,
	--Mat
