Wouldn't the linux audio developers list be a better place to ask?

But I'll try anyway.. the repeated sound segment effect is usually
caused by an interrupt failure. Have you disabled interrupts as soon as
the last buffer is set up? Perhaps you should let the last sample play,
then on the final "buffer empty" interrupt you stop the process
(whatever that is... I've never done any sound programming but a long
time ago I did some DMA code) that feeds sound to the codec. Or mute it
if that's what you have to do.

Isn't there an AC97 driver in existence already?
