(Though they don't have the internet streaming support I need, but that's another topic.) So it could be a problem with xmms, I will try to get and compile my own version. BUT: The problem that the sound stops when minimizing and maximizing windows prevails. I click several time on the window in the taskbar without waiting for the window to minimize or maximize actually. All players stop playing sound, but I doubt that this is the sound driver, on the other hand: I don't know... Has anyone an idea where I should start to investigate this problem? And: when I put some kernel debug messages (printk) in the function snd_via8233_pcm_pointer the error message "invalid via82xx_cur_ptr, using last valid pointer" seems to disappear. But what I have done is not a fix. I don't know enough about the hardware, but could this be a timing problem in the driver? ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by EclipseCon 2004 Premiere Conference on Open Tools Development and Integration See the breadth of Eclipse activity.
