$ ulimit -a core file size (blocks, -c) 0 data seg size (kbytes, -d) unlimited file size (blocks, -f) unlimited max locked memory (kbytes, -l) unlimited max memory size (kbytes, -m) unlimited open files (-n) 1024 pipe size (512 bytes, -p) 8 stack size (kbytes, -s) 8192 cpu time (seconds, -t) unlimited max user processes (-u) 3071 virtual memory (kbytes, -v) unlimited You're limits don't look all that different from mine, 'cept you have unlimited stack size (lucky devil), so I don't think limits is your problem. I'd lean toward sound card driver issues. Do you have another sound card you could try?
