I think Slackware 10.1+ uses udev if that means anything to anyone. I havent done research yet and it is a minor issue... compared with the next issue. And this keeps me back in 2.4/0.9.0rc1. Weird issue. Everything else seems to work, World of Warcraft under cedega, xine (been watching long movies, etc just fine), xmms works great thru my 2nd sound card (onboard VIA) line-linked to my 1st (trident) which is how I always listen to MP3s and play Enemy Territory (ET uses the sound exclusively and I like to use TeamSpeak at the same time). Teamspeak works great thru the primary card. I am a Unreal Tournament NUT at heart. I cant leave this game. I run a dual proc linux server hosted with like 10 UT servers. The sound in my client STUTTERS?!?!? I thought maybe it was video as it affects the video display too, but I ran ut -nosound and no odd video effects, so I believe it is definitely sound driver related. I thought maybe turning off the kernel preemption might help but it has made no difference. UT uses OSS. I am not sure what all the other software is using. I have tried both the Generic and OpenAL subsystems and BOTH stutter and crackle. I have always used the Generic in the past with both real OSS drivers (before discovering ALSA long ago) and ALSA itself.
