Nevermind ... The problem of choppy 5.1 output seems to be gXine 0.5.6
with the 2.6.16.1 kernel. I'll just wait for newer ALSA drivers to see
if the severe problems with the 2.6.16.18 kernel disappear.

After more experimentation with the 2.6.16.1 kernel, I've discovered
that 2 channel output is working fine with gXine. The sole problem seems
to be choppy 5.1 channel output as indicated in my previous e-mail. I
won't even think about installing the 2.6.16.18 kernel until this
problem with 5.1
