I have an ibook G4 and using alsa freezes the system (I have about 1 hr of uptime when I'm listening to music, no problem when not using the soundcard). I'm using the OSS driver now, as it does not show the problem.
I experienced it on every 2.4 and 2.6 kernel I used. I'm using now vanilla 2.6.5, without any patch, and with preempt disabled. No trace of a kernel panic in the logs. Please tell me what I can do to provide some more useful information. Thanks in advance -- Sylvain Joyeux
