On 3-STABLE I never had problems with mpg123 up to a load average of 6-7 on a P166MMX using a buffer of 1024 kbytes. Now the sound sometimes hangs or skips even when I open an xterm. Another issue is the mixer with newpcm: on my Avance Asound 110 there has been some noise since I'm using 4-STABLE. Setting the volume to 100 using mixer(8) does not result in the same loudness as it did before. -- Dominik - http://www.brettnacher.org/users/dominik/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
