I didn't know how far you went ;-) What WM/Environment do you use? I have a
problem with KDE's sound server causing my system to lock up (hard freeze,
reboot) once in a while. It's really bad with 2.4.x kernels, and there hasn't
been a solution that works that I've seen. I sent benh a few ksymoops
reports, and he sent me a patch, but it didn't do the trick. :-( I'm running
2.2.21-voodoo-patched right now, and I'm stable most of the time. I have to
stay away from aRTs (or however it's spelled) and I'm okay. Maybe disable
sound in KDE, or send sound to /dev/null, or disable sound drivers in your
kernel. ?
Me, I'd rather deal with occasional lockups than no sound. There might be a
fix for this in the 2.5/2.6 kernels, as I understand that the sound drivers
are being completely reworked.
