Hi All,
Thanks Mathy for your help on this! I did discover that my RH7.1 kernel had an incompatible sound driver built in. I had never compiled a custom kernel for this machine, so I went through that process and now the ALSA sound is working better, but still not flawless. The problem I'm seeing now I have read a bit about in the archives, but haven't seen a solution. When playing mpeg video on xmms, I get no sound, and the system comes to a crawl with thousands of entries being placed in the syslog. This is the entry I find in /var/log/messages: Sep 20 17:32:48 JOHN-ANDREWS kernel: ALSA ../../alsa-kernel/pci/cs46xx/cs46xx_lib.c:767: BUG? (cpcm->pcm_channel) (called from d087abc1) Sep 20 17:32:48 JOHN-ANDREWS kernel: ALSA ../alsa-kernel/core/pcm_lib.c:176: BUG: stream = 0, pos = 0xfffffffa, buffer size = 0x400, period size = 0x200 Following is the output of lsmod (which seems right): [root@JOHN-ANDREWS avi-xmms-1.2.3]# /sbin/lsmod Module Size Used by snd-pcm-oss 50672 0 (autoclean) snd-mixer-oss 11088 0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm-oss] snd-seq-midi 4816 0 (unused) snd-seq-midi-event 3632 0 [snd-seq-midi] snd-seq 44624 0 [snd-seq-midi snd-seq-midi-event] snd-cs46xx 77168 0 snd-rawmidi 14464 0 [snd-seq-midi snd-cs46xx] snd-seq-device 4624 0 [snd-seq-midi snd-seq snd-rawmidi] snd-pcm 69024 0 [snd-pcm-oss snd-cs46xx] snd-timer 11952 0 [snd-seq snd-pcm] snd-ac97-codec 26784 0 [snd-cs46xx] snd 37264 0 [snd-pcm-oss snd-mixer-oss snd-seq-midi snd-seq-midi-event snd-seq snd-cs46xx snd-rawmidi snd-seq-device snd-pcm snd-timer snd-ac97-codec] Any thoughts on this logging would be very gratfully accepted...

How much players, did they move in > a specific pattern, ... :-) I don't think it was volleyball 8-) They faced each other in two groups across the plaza, maybe 6 or 8 players per team, no net or anything. They threw a ball in a way similiar to cricket, but there was no wicket or bat that I saw, just throwing the ball. They didn't seem to run in a specific pattern, just threw the ball back and forth. There was quite a crowd watching, some from a covered viewing stand. Thanks Again for all of your help! John E.
