SB16 PCI, driver snd-ens1371. Let me just check it still happens (when I noticed, I was running kernel -10mdk, and -11mdk was The Kernel Without A Changelog, so I guess it could be fixed :>)...nope, still happens. It just freezes when I hit play. Don't get any console output if I'm running from a console, either. Have to control-C or 'kill' it. This was working at least with kernel -6mdk, I think also with -9mdk but I'm not completely sure. I have to run XMMS in OSS mode. > > Trying to run Quakeforge (Quake source port) in ALSA mode gives a > > segfault. > IIRC does quake use mmapped sound? there was some problem with that and i > think it was quakes fault, not alsa. But could be wrong. Quake might've done, I don't know. Quakeforge is, as I mentioned, a source port, made for Linux. It has an ALSA output which is as far as I know like anyone else's ALSA output :). If I use its OSS output instead, it doesn't segfault, but I get messed up sound, it seems to play the sound for half a second every three seconds or so, it's odd. Doesn't seem to be a known bug, going by their mailing lists. It'd just generally be nice to get a new kernel with ALSA 0.9rc8, I think, and hope it solves everyone's problems. :) -- adamw
