Re: HELP - I'm going mad: mp3,audio/adb conflict

Does anyone have an idea where I could start hunting for a fix for
this?  I've never really fiddled with the kernel before; too bad I
can't sick gdb on it :)  What's driving me nuts is that precompiled
kernels work perfectly [read problem description below].


Thanks,
Peter

1) Say I'm playing an mp3 with either xmms or mpg123.  If I move a
window around w/the mouse, the music will stop completely!  I have to
quit xmms/mpg123 and restart it for it to work again.  This only
happens with kernels I compile myself.  I have even tried compiling
2.2.10 and 2.3.6 with all default values, but still the same problem.
(Had same problem under r4!)  The only constant here is egcs 2.91.66,
which I built under r4 and which came prebuilt in r5.  This has been
extremely frustrating, as I'd like to start playing with the kernel
code myself.

This sounds very wierd.  And you're doing nothing different other then
using a different kernel for sound to work/not work properly?

This has been a long-standing problem for me with all kernels starting at
2.1.12x and continuing to present. It was *never* a problem with 2.1.24,
but there were apparently some changes in the sound driver post-2.1.24
(e.g., you used AFMT_S16_BE in 2.1.24, and little-endian or "NE" in
later kernels). Incidentally, I made the 2.1.24->2.1.121 jump, so I
don't know at what version it may have been a problem. It appears with
all apps that use the sound device that I have tried -- amp, mpg123,
timidity and xaudio.  The load average on the machine doesn't seem to
matter -- it seems to be solely related to mouse movements, and appears
with both XF68_FBDev and Xpmac.

It is not related to the compiler version, as I have had the problem
with various versions of egcs.
