I uses the pcm drivers for sound. My system is current as of two days ago. I just installed KDE-1.1.1 (curious about performance) and I was testing out the one and only sound that seems to come with it. It seems that the sound device is buffering sound for a long period of time. The first time sound is set to the audio device it plays right away. The second and subsequent time that sound is sent to the device there is a considerable delay before the sound is played. I believe the files are just .wav (pcm) files. Has anybody else experienced this and can it be blamed upon KDE or is it a driver problem. I don't recall having this problem under Linux, but I can't remember if it was KDE 1.1.1 or KDE 1.1 that I had installed at that time, so I am not sure if that rules out KDE or not.
