hello benno ! i ran latencytest on kernel 2.5.44-mm2 yesterday, and the audio was totally garbled, just barely recognizable. strangely, i could aplay somesound.wav simultaneously, and it sounded ok. (except for dropouts here and there.) might it be an oss problem ? i'm stumped. i habe never seen this before with the 2.5 kernels. regards, jörn -- Jörn Nettingsmeier Kurfürstenstr 49, 45138 Essen, Germany http://spunk.dnsalias.org (my server) http://www.linuxdj.com/audio/lad/ (Linux Audio Developers)
