Hello, I am having a problem with sound playback on FreeBSD 6.2. I have ha= d this problem for quite a while, but have not had time to try to figure it= out until just now. (Had it with 6.0 - 6.2) When I first boot my machine= , it works great, but after it has been on for 24 to 48 hours, the ram usag= e climbs up until there is about 70 megs free. From what I have read, I th= ink this is normal. (560~ megs in inactive) When the computer gets to thi= s state mp3 playback begins to stutter, getting worse and worse. top shows= 60 - 85% idle. the machine is a 2.0 pentium 4 with a gig of ram and a 5.1= Live! card. I am running x.org 7.1 with gnome 2.16, gaim, bitchx, azureus= and amarok for mp3 playback. (mp3s are on a local drive) Using OSS or ES= D for playback doesn't seem to make any difference. I have tried playing m= p3s in xmms, and I still get stutters. I even get stuttering in system sou= nds. Everything else on the machine seems to be acting normaly. No weird = errors in any logs that I have found. So, I am wondering if anyone can hel= p me track this down, or if anyone has seen something like this before. An= y help would be great! Let me know if more information is needed.Thanks,J= eremy _________________________________________________________________ Get the new Windows Live Messenger! http://get.live.com/messenger/overview=
