Hi George

OK, you should be able to duplicate the error by using the
following code. Simply add it to one of your own progs (that
has sound and uses SsVabTransfer() ) by renaming your prog's
main() as MainProper()...

long savesp;
int main()
{
	//* Change SP to scratchpad area...
	__asm__ volatile ("sw $29,(savesp)");
	__asm__ volatile ("la $29,0x1f8003f0");

	//* Run program...
	MainProper();

	//* Restore SP...
	__asm__ volatile ("lw $29,(savesp)");

	return 0;
}

With me, SsVabTransfer() fails but if I comment out the __asm__
lines it works fine!

Any ideas?
