The sound card is a Turtle Beach Catalina which uses the evny24ht. I had some initial problems with it since it requires S32_LE input to alsa supported devices which wouldn't work unless I spec'd this format in my .asoundrc. The MB is an Asus P4C800 Delux with a single P4 running in hyperthreaded mode. The CPU is overclocked 20% (I think) and runs fine. Realplayer is at v10.0.1.436 (gold). vlc isn't installed. xine-lib is at v1.1.1, as per gentoo stable. mlayer is at v1.0.20060217 totem is at v1.2.1 Anything else? -- Lindsay Haisley | "Fighting against human | PGP public key FMP Computer Services | creativity is like | available at 512-259-1190 | trying to eradicate | <http://pubkeys.fmp.com> http://www.fmp.com | dandelions" | | (Pamela Jones) | -- [email protected] mailing list
