[linux-audio-user] kernel upgrade issues

[Noah Roberts]

I installed 12-rc4 and am so far happy except the thumb drive thing. 
I have narrowed it down to thumb drives formatted in msdos fat or
vfat.  I can mount a thumb drive in ext2 and reiser but not fat.  So I
am trying for help in comp.os.linux.misc since this part isn't an
audio issue.  If anyone here knows anything though...

The problem I was noticing earlier was because I was browsing and
listening to mp3 at same time through jack.  It seems I used to be
able to do that np, but maybe not.  If I turn jack off and use alsa it
is fine.  Maybe adding the lsm would make it better as I could give
jack a higher priority.  Right now I am trying without patches and
then add as I get things to work.

What would be nice is if I could just leave jack running all the time
and have everything work.  That doesn't happen though because some
programs need alsa, like xine and such.  Oh well.
