I am, however, determined to make linuxppc sound at *least* as good as it is under MacOS!!! Patches for latest source trees at http://www.drfruitcake.com/linux/linuxppc.html This is the common 2.4.0/back-port codebase. I haven't done a specific 2.4.0-test5 patch yet (but it's gonna be real close to the one there - and the conditionals shouldn't hurt 2.4.0 - so...) ========== Latest changes (both): o added in the detection of screamers (thanks Ben) solves some pismo problems o a little extra information on which type of chip it thinks it has is put into the status output 2.2.17pre15ben1: o drivers/sound/Makefile is updated with Geert's patch to correct module_install stuff ===== my results so far. 2.2.17pre15 looks OK (same behaviour still ) 2.4.0-test5 This is much more flaky **with identical code** there is no crashing (yet) - but a strong tendency for almost any activity to cut off the sound. opening the mixer control is a really good way of doing it. Once the panel is open you can restart the sound and all is hunky-dory... but... I guess I'm a little suspicious of the new wait-queue stuff (that's really the only major change to the sound side). Happy testing, Iain BTW sorry, no binaries posted - I haven't done enough of my own testing yet. ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
