I have had similar problems playing music for several months, if I moved the mouse (ps2) on the console, static would be added to the audio, some heavy disk activity could also trigger it, but that was very rare. At any rate, I decided my system had too much cruft on it, and did a rm -rf /usr/local, then re-built everything from scratch (the filesystem dated from late in 3-CURRENT). After the complete rebuild, the problem disappeared. It seems that I had a stale library or header somewhere that contributed to this. --=20 Eric Hodel - drbrain@segment7.net - http://segment7.net All messages signed with fingerprint: FEC2 57F1 D465 EB15 5D6E 7C11 332A 551C 796C 9F04 --m51xatjYGsM+13rf Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE/cgh0MypVHHlsnwQRAhyUAKCJntYYcUmm73J4+cdXsPGBavNV3QCaAmbM wzrLsG6KOHF8w/jbOGAZJM4= =OM3C -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --m51xatjYGsM+13rf--
