I got sound hiccups by simply moving the mouse around alot. But after
upgrading to the 2.2.18 kernel from http://www.kernel.org the problem has
gone away. There were also a number of momentary Xserver freezes that
went away with 2.2.18 - seems the 2.2.17-21mdk has some kernel lock issues.
Hand merging the kernel .config files however was not a lot of fun.
I hope mandrake puts together a 2.2.18 upgrade RPM soon (hint hint).
