Yes.

There is some noise when I send an audio file directly to the device,
i. e. cat error.wav > /dev/dsp. However, all sound programs I have
tried fail to set the audio speed (RedHat 7, tried sox, xmms, mpg123).
Sample strace output (mpg123):
...

restarted)

I only tried 2.4.1 without patches on this machine which did not work
either.
