I toyed without some more last night, by playing a short wav file. "aplay my.wav" starts in less than a second, whereas "play my.wav" takes 1-2 seconds (am I correct in assuming that "play" uses oss and "aplay" uses alsa?) is there some kind of buffer setting that i can tweak that will remove this lag? or is there a way to get more of my apps to use alsa instead of oss (like esd). and if i get esd to use alsa, will that fix my problem with flash? (just as an additional item, i figured i would monkey with the irqs to see if the problem was there. I now have the audiophile on irq 9 by itself, and still the same problem.)
