I switched from 2.4 to 2.6 a few days ago and noticed this strange problem. Whatever program uses OSS-emulation takes 1-3 seconds to open /dev/dsp and start playing sound. It seems that this has something to do with the preemptive kernel option, because I experienced the same when I tried a 2.4 kernel with the preemptive patch. I thought that having a prememtive kernel would reduce delays in general ~ and not increase them dramatically. How can I be of help to find and locate this problem ? Greetings, Lars. PS: Hardware is EWX24/96, if that helps. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFAU2iBrp9JEomxNXERAuAtAJ0SqH7CtAidytYox5ZmWw1gOfMIpACdHRf6 xJQw7Ug3+gvimU11ECwGY4c= =ko6Q -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
