Concerning the sb05 sound lib mod-playing routines:

1. On my machine (SBPro) if a program using sb05 routines is called
 first thing after startup, before any other sound-card utilising programs
 have been run,I get severe distortion & playback is very fuzzy.
 Briefly running another DMA-utilising program beforehand or calling
 sb_init() twice in succession seems to cure it. Has anyone else encountered
 the same problem, and are there any more elegant fixes?

2. I want to be able to loop mods in my program easily, but if I call 
   sb_mod_play() when a song is finished (sb_active == FALSE) my
   program crashes with a GPE and a loud ringing tone. Reloading the
  mod from disk and replaying works fine, but that's rather inefficient.
  I figured, the mod's already loaded, why not just replay it, but that
  doesn't seem to work.I thought I'd ask first if anyone had any solutions
  b/4 hacking the sb05 source itself.

Thanks
Elliott
