I'm using an SB Live with the kernel module emu10k1. It's listed in my
/etc/modules. This never happenecd before (ie. the crasing - usually I'd
just get errors like "Cannot access /dev/dsp" or something like that)
and mpg123 does it too (the crashing)!
I find the general performance of my system is suffering as well from this
recent mysterious problem.
Thanks again,
Andrew
