IMHO, it's probably due to the way the driver for your soundcard is handling buffer underflows. If you have the chance to have a card both supported by OSS and Alsa, you may try to switch from one to the other. If it fixes, you should tell us, along with what's printed on your console by invoking "lspcidrake -v". -- Guillaume Cottenceau - http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~gc/
