Shortly after noticing that behaviour (which /was/ only with amarok), other apps would die and be un-killable. Think it's a bug in the ALSA kernel module (or faulty hardware).
Anyway, someone ought to close/delete this bug report. I've not had any probs with my new soundcard. thanks, rich -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
