For what I have seen everybody uses snd_emu10k1. Since I use my onboard soundcard (snd_ess* (not MPSAFE)) I have less problems with my sound under disk load. Bit is just experience. I don't know about code internals. Oh, I saw a post a while ago on stable@ or on current@ about a buffer in emu10k1. If it was increased it had less problems. Don't have the time to look up the post, sorry. Ronald. -- Ronald Klop, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
