/dev/sndstat tells me it's ESS ES1978 (Maestro 2E) at 0x1400, irq 5
The clicking seems to be gone with buffersize 128 (not higher or lower)
but I am still getting sync problems with any sample rate. It's like it
is recording one channel slower than the other. It's quite likely there
is a hardware issue with this laptop, so I am going to forget about it
until the new one arrives.

Thanks for your help!

Chris.
