Wondering if anyone else is having the same problems I've been having for a
while now.
Running the latest X port under a very recent -stable, with the S3 Savage
driver (S3 Savage 4).
Under X, if I'm playing any sort of audio file, and try scrolling some text
in a window, or even have an app running in an xterm that's producing a lot
of output, I get a lot of very annoying interference with the audio. If I
drag a scroll button up and down, the audio slows down and becomes horribly
mutilated.
I'm not sure what's causing this, if it's X, or the pcm driver. I never
used to experience this. Audio used to play very smoothly, even under
moderate to heavy loads. Now it seems like certain X events are generating
an interrupt that's causing the pcm driver to temporarily be blocked.

^^^^^^^^
Odd, I just noticed this. Used to say "ES1371", if I remember correctly.
I'll gladly provide any further info if anyone is interested.
Thanks.
