I haven't yet tried it with preempt.  I tested it only briefly on
2.4.17.  I'll merge it into my DC tree, which is 2.4.18-pre2 and
preemptible, soon.

Is the code SMP safe?  If not (particularly the user accessed functions
like open and all) it could barf on itself via reentrancy if
preemptible, but it should work in general until then.

mp3 playback (via mpg123) was good.  of course, then, normal pcm output
was great.  some trivial games (using raw sound out I believe) and mpg
video was out of sync.  It's really not bad.  I should measure CPU
use...
