Ok.. I've finally got some time and am now on the newest kernel:
bfuller at ives ~ $ uname -a
Linux ives 2.6.20-rt8 #2 PREEMPT Thu Mar 29 21:32:54 PDT 2007 i686 
Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 1700MHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

but, I get clicks and jumps when playing anything. I don't get clicks 
and jumps with standard kernels. What could I look at? dmesg didn't seem 
to have anything of relevance to this. Should it?

tia,
brad
