In fact it has been, fortunately, just about two weeks ago... By Andreas Kies in 2.4.26-pre3. He'd already patched 2.6.x a bit earlier. I've been trying to get the slightest bit of attention about that DoS at that time, but after two very detailed fruitless mails to LKML, I just gave up: http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0206.0/0087.html http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0206.2/0033.html Andreas Kies told me that it seemed that they now cared a slight wee bit more about small fringe problems such as DoSes in 2.4.x... </sarcasm>
(now you know how to mount a DOS on these systems!)
Ow, watch your words! This can be VERY easily misinterpreted as mounting a DOS partition somewhere!? (in fact I did fall for it the first couple of seconds)
Patch the fragment size if it does not match the current sound format. This saves us from trigerring a kernel freeze on some OSS 2.4 + SounBlaster 16 systems.
Crap, I thought I'd sent a Wine patch at that time; it would have been the easiest thing to do. Anyway, glad to see it fixed now.
Greetings,
Andi (been finishing my wireless driver any single day for about 5 months now :))

Was it the patch exactly the way you did it ? From what I remember from the time I still had my SB16, the patch fixed the crash, but it gave a lot of bad results with Wine (as far as I can remember, DSound applications started to sound as bad as on my laptop's i810 :-) ).
