Sorry guys the following output is rather long, but one of the few times I actually appreciated logcheck and glad I hadn't gotten around to fixing it so as to not get so many messages. In any case I upgraded this box to kernel 2.4.22 and the newest alsa-drivers. I did this as it was necessary well not really, but figured I had to fix a mess so why not. I've never had problems so figured what the hell, but now if someone is talking on the reflector for more than 15/20 seconds the following is what happens. Before going backward in alsa or kernel versions, has anyone experienced this problem and if so what did you do to correct it. Thanks in advance.
