Hi, I run across this problem a lot in Linux. Maybe someone can help me make my Gentoo system do audio better. All the straight Alsa stuff works well. However, when I'm browsing around I come to web sites that probably want to play some audio, but this is Linux and Alsa, so things don't work easily. At the web site http://www.skale.org I start getting this repeating glitch noise every 8 seconds or so. It hasn't happened every time I've visited the site today, but it's happened a lot of times. In hdspmixer I see this glitch on all 26 playback channels, by the way, so I'm assuming that this means it's some sort of OSS problem, but I'm not sure. What's wrong with my setup of Alsa, which in most other ways works just fine, and why can I also not get mp3 (well, really xmms) to work under Linux? BTW - much non-Alsa audio from Games works fine, but also drives all 26 playback channels. Should it really work this way? Thanks, Mark
