There's a robot farting in my ear.

I'm not kidding.  When I listen to music on my laptop running FC2
every so often I hear the unmistakable sound of a robot passing gas.
It's somewhere between a buzz and static.  Does anyone know how to
solve this?

The machine is a Thinkpad T20.  The sound chip is a Crystal Audio
Sound Fusion PCI.  I'm using the cs46xx ALSA driver in a 2.6.7
kernel.  I added the "thinkpad=1" option in modprobe.conf but that
didn't help.

I'm thinking about trying the OSS driver since it's still in the
kernel.  Does anyone have a better idea?
