	Yes, that information _is_ very useful!

	If I understand correctly, the current setup of your sound
card (as an SBPro) plays mp3's, midi's and the Linus Torvalds message
(/usr/share/sndconfig/sample.au) perfectly but doesnt play larger wave
files from Windoze properly - correct?

	If that is so, with what are you playing the wav files?  Are
you using "play" (provided with the sox package)?  If so try
installing wavplay and use it.  I believe it will solve your problem.
