Or, go compile your own kernel - NOT that bad use ALSA, [which I do] use NVidia's kernel driver [which I do] and have no problems. You may have flakey hardware, but I would first suspect the vendor kernel. I am not using a vanilla kernel by any strech. I used SGI XFS modification to RedHat8, plus I built my own kernel, I really like ALSA, and I am jonesing for 2.6, but for now I use ALSA w/ 2.4. I use the NVidia driver, compiled with gcc3.2, and I have no problems. If it is affecting you that much, I would try killing any arch specific optimizations in the make file. I have not had any of these problems, but I do have older hardware as well. js -- VB programmers ask why no one takes them seriously, it's somewhat akin to a McDonalds manager asking employees why they don't take their 'career' seriously.
