No, I think perhaps "irq hungry" is a
meaningless statement, rather
there's a nasty fight for resources between my AGP Rage card and the
Audiophile, I'm testing this simply by running Jack, and watching the
reports of xruns, the sblive is popping an xruns every twenty minutes, and
then the xrun is tiny like .009 miliseconds, while the Audiophile was
popping a 54 milisecond xrun every two seconds. The whole "irg
hungry" thing is perhaps a misnomer.
I wish this audio vs. video war could be quantified - actually
understand the reasons for it.
On one machine (celeron p3 core) I had to lose the AGP for a cheapo
PCI. On my new machine, I had to get a high end AGP to stop this. BTW
are the problems just XRUNS or do u hear garbled audio during video
activity?
