Is anybody getting the CPU overload warning strange audio problems with KDE 3.2.0? I am finding it quite annoying. I don't seem to have any problems with Gnome 2.4.2 and using esound. I have tried this with both the latest Gentoo sources and ALSA and with the mm-sources 2.6.3-rc1 kernel (also with ALSA).
I used to have this problem too, when using OSS in combination with artsd. When
one application already uses the OSS device (/dev/dsp), and artsd wants to play
a sound, it seems to enter an infinite polling loop for a lock on /dev/dsp, or some
sh** like that. CPU load skyrockets, the system freezes, until after half a minute or so
artsd crashes with "CPU overload! Aborting." and the system becomes useable again.
(Though, of course, arts sound doesn't work anymore until artsd is restarted).
Very disturbing. I hope KDE makes artsd optional, and offers ALSA support in the
future.
