I'm not even kidding. But, and even more strangely, it seems to also makes the crackling a little better, even though CPU usage is higher. It's as if it allows the CPU usage to go to higher levels before failure, but itself takes up more CPU. I'm completely baffled as to why this is. - -ken -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFFxBBAe8HF+6xeOIcRApJZAKCh5Q7IFZZQvxyCFd+82m8o3iJuGQCfbc2a XWM1nLIKB1yhGncNyiBmJMg= =zP13 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
