[linux-audio-user] same kernel and big differences between mandrake and debian?

[rico]

Hello everybody,
I use mandrake and i want to switch to debian, i have mdk 10.0 and debian 
sarge currently installed.

As a musician i use band in a box with wine alsa and timidity with the same 
kernel + config (stock 2.6.8 no preemption) on both system.
However, the sound is great on mandrake whereas it is crappy (glitches, 
scratches, not regular) on debian (even trying the LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.22 
trick). I don't use jack.

How comes there is such a difference between two system that uses the same 
kernel and config?
Where should i look since the kernel and modules are the same (are they?)?

Thanks 
rico
