Just to close out this a bit:

Yesterday I got bored of waiting for the build factory to come to life so I 
updated my Haiku tree on R5 from last summer (pretty painful on dial-up!). It 
built eventually (there was some crud left in the rc folder from the last build 
that I had to "make clean", took a while to figure that out) and I did indeed 
get sound out of my SB Live. VLC was fairly usable although I had to disable 
MMX and there was no overlay, so CPU usuage was a bit on the high side.

Anyway I was able to play with Haiku for about 30 minutes and shut it down 
successfully, so great work on the stability lately.

It's great when things just work - I'd copied the Net+ binary over from R5 and 
forgotten about it, and double-clicked a html file in Haiku without thinking 
about it, and Net+ instantly opened and rendered it. That was cool.

Seen some commits relating to getting some bigger apps to start, so I'm off to 
play some more :D
