Hi all, Recently I built a 2.6 kernel and switch to using ALSA for sound playback.
But, I notice that if I'm playing sound, doing gui things causes playback to stutter. Eg, if I scroll in windows, or change tabs, or drag a window around on the desktop, or even hold down cursor keys in gnome-terminal. If I drag a window around for long enough, it sometimes doesn't recover and continues to stutter even after I've stopped doing this and I have to pause playback and start again. It happens using both realplayer and rhythmbox. Both worked fine when I was using OSS on a 2.4 kernel. In other respects, I'm running an uptodate sid box with gnome as my DE - albeit on fairly old hardware: PIII, 550MHz, 256MB RAM, but the CPU isn't maxed out or anything. Any ideas? It's quite annoying :( cheers dc -- David Purton [EMAIL PROTECTED] For the eyes of the LORD range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him. 2 Chronicles 16:9a
