Going back to the old ALSA tree from 2.6.2 'solves' the problem. I am not experiencing the gstreamer lock, nor the interuptions in other programs' playout. Regarding the nforce interupts problem you mention, I only get it when APIC is turned on, which is not the case here. Tell me if I can provide more information, thanks, -- Johan ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.
