the system freezes also with xmms.

it looks like there is a problem between the kernel and the driver:
I replaced my bf2.4 kernel with a regular 2.4.18 kernel ( with smp support
in my case) and now the driver works fine and there is pd on 8 channels -
great !!!!

thanx for help and much more for the driver :)
