After trying a lot of things today (I still have a lot of problem finding the essence of, hum, 'organisation' between oss, alsa, arts and KDE) I finally re-installed amarok (I had it kicked out since I found it too bulky to use) and this on DOES play without any glitches. So I guess the driver/HW issues are fine and it's just now up to me to find which API to use. I'm currently going through SDL, enabling the various modules in it but it still jerks at times. Of course this is one more layer between me and that I need to take down. What should I try to write a direct driver for ? ALSA ?
