Hi, I am too inexperienced to file this, so pls excuse me. I am trying to follow just the Documentation. 1.> Audio doesn't work properly in linux-2.4.3 pre4 (i810_audio). [Real Audio] 2.> I tried to run it with patches applied on 2.4.2 kernel. I tested with pre1, pre2 and pre4. The problem seems to be in pre4. I tried to use a console real player. It just pops an error saying i810_audio: DMA overrun on send. 3.> i810_audio, RealPlayer, Sound. DMA 4.>cat /proc/version Linuxversion 2.4.3-pre4 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) gcc-version-2.96 20000731 RedHAt Linux 7.0 #1 5.> Ooops.. I do not know how ??:-(( 6.> use of trplayer.
