Quite simple and straight forward.

Sound system and driver are built into my kernel.
Sound works like a charm in here (Amarok for ogg/mp3, Kaffeine for videos,
Doom3, World of Padman, Quake3, etc, etc ), everything build from ports.
The only "gotcha" are KDE's "System Notificactions" (start up, shutdown,
etc ..). They are not exactly choppy .. they seem to eat miliseconds of
sound ... sound doesn t cut .. it remains a stream .. is just that some
miliseconds dissapear.
Is there a workaround for that?
I already tried:
/etc/syscontl.conf
kern.ipc.shmmax=100000000
kern.ipc.shmall=65536
but to no avail .. System Notificactions are still choppy ...
maybe it's ony me ... Anyone getting the same on your systems?
pciconf -vl
pcm0@pci0:4:2:0: class=0x040100 card=0x80401102 chip=0x00021102
rev=0x08 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Creative Technology LTD.'
device = 't4780010004541 Sound Blaster Live! (Also Live! 5.1) - OEM
from DELL - CT4780'
class = multimedia
subclass = audio
(just in case .. the card is _not_ an OEM from DELL ... it was originally
buyed Boxed, brand new, and the exact model was Sound Blaster Live! X-Gamer
Edition, and it is 4.1).
Any help will be greatly appreciated
Thanks :)
