Hi, The symptoms sound very much like what you get when you use ALSA without "stop playback locks up" checked. If that doesn't work there are lots of other things you could try but the quickest way to get help may be to ask on the irc channel. A couple of things to try: 1. close cinelerra, rename ~/.bcast, start cinelerra see if the problem persists (this will also reset your configuration to defaults) 2. try using only dv format video. An easy way to convert a video to dv is to open it with kino.
Hopefully it's just that confusing ALSA setting that is the problem.
