Nope. Well, sometimes, but not often. When I am, I get the "repeating the last sample" effect during the freeze, the same as if the sound card wasn't generating interrupts (or the system wasn't servicing those interrupts). This is one of the things that makes me suspect interrupt problems. -- Frank Mayhar [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.exit.com/ Exit Consulting http://www.gpsclock.com/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
