[proaudio] strange irq things

["kRAkEn/gORe" <kunitoki@xxxxxxxxx>]

hi to all, 
first i want to thanx all the people working in the list and on the overlay, cause
it's one of the most interesting overlay out there... 

i've recently noticed that my new machine do share a lot of irq, and some of them
are > 15 !! i don't know if this is something related to some kernel config, i'm using
2.6.19-rt7 however.
i don't have experienced locks, xruns nor problems in general, but i'm unable
to make the firmware of my echo3g work correctly (if i plug the card in the pci slot,
it will share IRQ 185 or 193 with the other devices !).
this is the first time i've seen this,  has anyone any ideas on what to do ?
i've tried searching on the gentoo forums, or the net in general but i'm unable 
to find any informations on how to deal with this (and make my sound card work
as it used to on my older machine).

#  cat /proc/interrupts

any ideas (apart from going into bios, that doesn't help so much cause there isn't
any options for setting reserved IRQs for pci slots) ?
