my /etc/modprobe.conf has these entries alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss alias /dev/mixer snd-mixer-oss alias /dev/dsp snd-pcm-oss alias /dev/midi snd-seq-oss But surely the 2.6 should work as good as my 2.4 kernel where I had absolutely no xruns at any time?
