Unfortunately, I have the same hissing problem using the old Ultrasound
drivers. ( Yes, somebody still uses them :) )

I always set the GAIN to 0 with my mixer, but i cant influence the
defaults. I havent checked if this gain is actually causing the problem, but it
would be nice to know there is a _working_ fix.

One question: Is my 8MB of Gus mem worth anything yet with the alsa driver?
Thats the main thing holding me back from using it ( and the new kernel) at
the moment.
