Well - it does seem that my sound hardware may be (at least partly) at fault for my problems... I have been building sugar on another (older, even lower spec) box. That build finally finished, and I copied the TamTam-35.xo compressed bundle I made for the original box onto that and installed it. Well, on this second box, TamTam runs without background buzzing and clicks, and when I exit it, it actually terminates cleanly. I can even restart it without it hanging up. So... I guess I have to assume the sound hardware on the first box is causing difficulties... And in the meantime I have a platform (albeit v.slow!) I can move forward with... I wonder if the first box would be happier with my old iMic as a sound card?
