OK, I want to come back to this... I do seem to have a strange problem
with my sound (running kernel-image-2.6.11-powerpc 2.6.11-1) on my
TiBook IV and using ALSA.
When I listen music with mplayer/rhythmbox/ogg123/... after a random
period (can vary from 5secs to 20mins) the sound device just blocks and
the sound stops, I have to quit the app and restart it to have sound
again (for a short while)...
I used to have the same problem a few months back with the OSS driver
when cpufreqd changed the CPU frequency, however, that doesn't seem to
be the cause this time.
I can't find the cause or give any more information at the moment. If
anyone has a suggestion to find out more, please let me know. Music is
so fundamental for my daily PowerBook use that I am back in 2.6.10 for
the moment, but I can return any time.
