	Hello. I have problem with recording sound and compressing it
with lame. I guess, that this may be a kernel tuning problem. 
	When I do:
$ mkfifo file.wav
$ rec -c 2 -s w -d /dev/dspW -r 44100 file.wav &
lame --preset cd file.wav file.mp3 

sound recorded by lame is strange; small slices of sound are lost, and I
can hear something like quiet knocking. 

	My question is: how to get the best performance of FIFO's in
kernel? Is the snd_emu10k1 driver complete and working? What I sould
change with sysctl to get sound recording working good?
	Recording with rec also doesn't looks good. It loads CPU till
98% and sound quality is very bad. 
	My card: SB Live!, processor: PIII 450 MHz, RAM 128MB
	Regards, 
	light
