Re: Sound recording over-run
In article <[🔎] Pine.LNX.3.96.981111120402.3229A-100000@solzhenitsyn.ens.gu.edu.au> you write:

It means that your application can't take the data out of the kernel
buffers quickly enough, which means that the kernel buffers overflow
(i.e. are overrun). This can be caused by ide disks and/or too much
memory... if you have too much memory, the periodic flush of the
buffer cache takes too long. There's a utility you can use to tune
those parameters (it's not hdparm, at least not the debian version;
I'm not sure what I mean _is_ in debian...).

Any kernel error at the same time? `dmesg'.
