which kernel version are you using?

2.4.20 - it's a heavily patched one, tho (out of gentoo's portage). should i try a vanilla kernel?

the new code on rc7 simply tries allocation via vmalloc().
if it fails, it means that the system resource is really exhausted.
or, there might be memory leak or so...

hmm... well, rc7 has locked for me very shortly after system startup, top reports plenty (>200mb) free, so this shouldn't be a free resource issue. it seems to only occur if i try to rapidly open and close the device (when i say 'rapidly' i mean about once per second for about 10-25 seconds).

it's sub-ideal, but i'm using esd for now (with a really high timeout for releasing the pcm device) to avoid the excessive reopening behaviour.

thanks for your help - please let me know of any other ways i can try to gather information.
