Re: APM realy sucks on 2.6.x

  Thanks ...

  The pure ALSA system with PCI Cirrus Logic CS4281
  (my configuration) just dropped of my list of
  the 'bad' one ....

  Does this bug freeze the machine ? Or just block
  the outputting program ?

  PCM will be the next to look at...

  +-compile->reboot->check->-+

  Kind of feel like in the old days where
  a decend 'printf(stderr,....)' was THE
  state of the art debugging tool ....

  Cheers
