sound crashes in 2.4

2.4.8 dies after ~1/2 minute of mpg123 playback, with tty switching freeze, and typing out continuously (i`d say infinitely) call trace.

ac7 acts this way too, but before death
sound stalls *some* times, i then each time restart the proggie which emits it. This pattern survives 4-5 stalls, after which - final trace dump.gcc-2.95.3, sb16 - genuine, vanilla ac7, vanilla 2.4.8.
I have the same problems with an ALS007 card (in a 486 system). The card is correctly recognized and set up by the PnP drivers.
The system freezes completely when using sound (no ping replies anymore), and it's not a CPU/motherboard/RAM issue
(it compiles kernels without any problems), it occurs while playing MP3's, while playing LxDoom ( now i have an excuse to play Doom, testing the Linux sound drivers ;) ).
The time after which it crashes is variable, sometimes it crashes immediately, sometimes it crashes after 5 minutes. Sometimes, it also stalls a few times before finally crashing.
Having persistant DMA buffers enabled/disabled doesn't change anything (the machine has 16MB of RAM), and the problem occurs both when using modules or compiled-in drivers.
Both 2.4.8 and 2.4.9 have this problem (these are the ones I tried). Btw on 2.2.x i get DMA (output) timeout errors (and broken sound).
There is also another "issue":
the ISAPnP code calls "CMI8330 quirk". As i have no such card, i thought this was related to the problem. After commenting it out in quirks.c and recompiling, the quirk was not called anymore, but it didn't solve the problem.
