[newbie] Freezes when playing MPEGs?

2000-12-25 Thread Revenant 

I'm getting freezes in Mandrake whenever I play MPEGs, but given the
below log, I suspect the culprit is something to do with the sound.  I'm
using the Sourceforge Linux Aureal Drivers.  I have a Storm Platinum.

Anyone have any thoughts?

Thanx.

When I play MPEGs my computer freezes _hard_.  I can't switch to other
shells and the only way I've found to escape it is to reboot.

Can anyone tell me please how to isolate and identify the cause of this
problem?
