Playback will stop consistently, though the actual play time will vary. Sometimes it is after a few seconds, others after some minutes. It does not re-start however, I need to manually re-play the stream again. I tried running xmms from a terminal to see if any messages were displayed upon stoppage, but there was nothing. This phenomenon does not appear to happen with audio CDs or MP3s strangely enough. I am playing some MP3s at the moment, with no problems. I have not had any problems burning DVDs with this kernel. I burned two today using k3b and the post burn verification check was fine. Other than the above, I have not noted other problems with this kernel. This is all on a Dell 5150 laptop (3.2 Ghz P4, 2 Gb RAM) fully updated, including BIOS (A37) with a NEC DVD+RW (ND-5100A). Marc Schwartz
