I now have alsa 0.9.rc1 under 8.2 playing nicely with my Delta 66 multi-channel card and XMMS is doing it's thing faultlessly for 16 hours or so per day.
BUT This seems to have been at the cost of tuxracer, chromium and probably other apps that use 3d acceleration. These worked albeit without sound, before alsa rc1, but now sit on the panel for a while then give up. This happens whether another app is using sound at the time or not. I've tried both with the aRts server on and off. XMMS works thru either aRts or OSS emulation, but not the 3d stuff. Lighter weight games such as tuxpuck work fine (with sound). Any ideas? TIA Brian
