I am using the snd-emu10k1 driver with a SB-Live!
card, on a 2.4.19-SMP box with 1 GB memory, so this
out-of-memory error is a bit of a mystery. Are there
any other statistics that would be useful? I expect
(hope!) that this error will disappear soon, so I'd
recommend a swift response, if required.
Cheers,
Chris
