Yes, I noticed myself, that there is no reason why to blame 'sound' module =

it. But I noticed my box only panics when there is some activity going on w=
ith=20
sound device, like at one time, it paniced when I was trying to record audi=
o=20
using gnome-sound-recorder, and another it paniced when I was playing audio=
=20
using ogg123. And that it too, it didn't panic immediately after start of=
=20
operation (playing/recording), but only after some time has elapsed. And th=
e=20
system doesn't panic without snd_ds1 loaded even after building ports (like=
=20
openjdk6 and libxul) and using GNOME for 4 hours. BtW, I forgot to mention =
in=20
last post, but I'm running the GENERIC kernel bundled with 7.2-RELEASE DVD.

I don't know how to resolve and whether this is some kind of memory issue o=
r=20
something else. I also experienced something similar panic situation[1] wit=
h=20
8.0-CURRENT which no one else is able to reproduce except me, after which I=
=20
installed 7.2-RELEASE. Any ideas how to trace this problem, it is discourag=
ing=20
me to continue using FreeBSD for my regular desktop use ?
