Hello, I am having a problem with sound playback on FreeBSD 6.2. I have ha= d this problem for quite a while, but have not had time to try to figure it= out until just now. (Had it with 6.0 - 6.2) When I first boot my machine= , it works great, but after it has been on=0A= for 24 to 48 hours, the ram usage climbs up until there is about 70=0A= megs free. From what I have read, I think this is normal. (560~ megs=0A= in inactive) When the computer gets to this state mp3 playback begins to s= tutter, getting worse and worse. top shows 60 - 85% idle. the machine is = a 2.0 pentium 4 with a gig of ram. I am running x.org 7.1 with gnome 2.16,= gaim, bitchx, azureus and amarok for mp3 playback. (mp3s are on a local d= rive) Using OSS or ESD for playback doesn't seem to make any difference. = I have tried playing mp3s in xmms, and I still get stutters. I even get st= uttering in system sounds. Everything else on the machines seems to be act= ing normaly. No weird errors in any logs that I have found. So, I am wond= ering if anyone can help me track this down, or if anyone has seen somethin= g like this before. Any help would be great! Let me know if more informat= ion is needed.Thanks,Jeremy _________________________________________________________________ Call friends with PC-to-PC calling -- FREE http://get.live.com/messenger/overview=
