Right. They don't *seem* to occur at any particular moment. The first time it happened for me I had not yet played any mp3s since 4,1-RELEASE (where the problem is non-existent). The last occurance was nearly an hour ago, and I have been playing mp3s for around 40 minutes of that. I play waves fairly often, as I allow GNOME to use the slide.wav sound in the panel. So it could be waves that activate it. 29/08/00 09:03 -0700 - John Reynolds~: > >[following up to -multimedia] > >[ On Tuesday, August 29, Dolgan wrote: ] >> It appears that 4.1-STABLE has introduced more pcm problems with the Sound Blaster Live!, and perhaps other cards as well. >> >> I just CVSuped to 4.1-STABLE from 4.1-RELEASE, and soon after boot I get this in /var/log/messages: >> >> Aug 29 08:16:14 c169507-b /kernel: pcm0: hwptr went backwards 576 -> 3904 >> Aug 29 08:18:46 c169507-b /kernel: pcm0: hwptr went backwards 32 -> 3360 >> Aug 29 08:19:28 c169507-b /kernel: pcm0: hwptr went backwards 2240 -> 1696 >> Aug 29 08:19:31 c169507-b /kernel: pcm0: hwptr went backwards 1696 -> 1632 >> Aug 29 08:19:34 c169507-b /kernel: pcm0: hwptr went backwards 2560 -> 1920 >> Aug 29 08:19:45 c169507-b /kernel: pcm0: hwptr went backwards 1120 -> 704 >> >> I have these lines in kernel, and this has worked for me ever since 4.0-RELEASE: >> device sbc >> device pcm >> >> Is this a known problem?
