I am assuming that this is not a problem with the x86 port, since the sound support for UNIX is geared towards Linux on x86, and I have yet to read such a complaint on the Atari800 mailing list.. > It could also be a bug in the emulator.

That's what I am thinking, but as I said, I just haven't had the time to delve much into the PPC sound stuff in the kernel... so I was just asking for some help.. I may try again this weekend if I don't have to work, but then my girlfriend would probably hate me even more :) I'm already spending a good 12-16 hours/day at work... (some advice for everyone: never accept a job at a small company that's been around for 15 years, has 10 software products, and no current developers.. all of this == nightmares, headaches, lack of sleep, etc :) -j ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list.
