If a digital sound file is played, there is a short pop just as the sound begins. The pop happens everytime gnome plays a sound, a sound is cated to /dev/audio, or xmms starts playing an mp3. This does not happen when the same hardware is running Windows NT.

Two things: One, it is actually a CS4236. Second, I've installed the OSS/Linux (the non-free one) driver and the pop does not occur.
I would just like too add that I get this also with the cs4232 driver on a Dell Latitude CPi
This was fixed in later kernels for some hardware. Other systems will pop as the amplifier has a power control that pops and we want to turn it on/off to save power.
