Description Pat Suwalski 2003-04-23 08:25:06 UTC 
Distribution: Gentoo
Hardware Environment: ALSA, 82801AA AC'97 Audio
Software Environment: Gnome
Problem Description:
When there is a short burst of high CPU usage, ALSA tends to skip for up to a
second. This has always worked fine with 2.4.x OSS.

Steps to reproduce:
Open anything that uses OSS-emulation with ALSA. Xine and XMMS are good
examples. Switch to windows that are pretty cpu intensive in drawing, say
Mozilla. The sound chops.
Comment 1 Zwane Mwaikambo 2003-06-20 14:35:26 UTC 
Could you please add your .config? Also try building a kernel with
CONFIG_PREEMPT if you haven't already, i have personally noted that some boxes
stopped audio skipping with this enabled.
