y and may not catch up. Also played with most of the PA daemon.conf settings with no good results, also in tandem with pcm sysctl settings. When vchanmode is set to adaptive then PA reconfrigures audio device to 16/44.1. When vchanmode is fixed and both params of pcm and pa are the same glitches are unbearable and their intensity corelates with applications use (i.e. switching windows distrubs sound etc). Are there any limitations for 24/32-bit audio and samplerate over 44.1kHz o n FreeBSD? Are there any tunables that may help OSS / PulseAudio run smoother? Are these known issues of ALC1220 sound codec? Should I run PulseAudio as system service so it gets realtime / nice access? If so how to make it secure as there is no rc script for that? Any hints welcome :-) Tomek -- CeDeROM, SQ7MHZ, http://www.tomek.cedro.info
