Re: Sluggish audio

[Vincent Cojot <coyote step polymtl ca>]

Just to add my two cents. I too had a setup with RH7.3 which worked fine.

After some googling and with the following in /etc/sysctl.conf, I still 
get the same behaviour than what you observed:

# See also: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/long_list.cgi?buglist=114553
vm.inactive_clean_percent = 100

Just scrolling up and own the tabbed window inside mozilla hangs xmms 
until all scrolling has stopped. Not that I -need- to play sound under 
RHEL but it'd be nice to standardize on RHEL3 for desktops and 
workstations alike and desktop problems could be a show stopper in some 
cases..

Also, the integrated sound card on which the problem was reproduced is 
different from yours (it's in kernel*, not kernel-unsupported):

[me where code]$ lsmod|egrep -i '(sound|i810|audio)'
i810_audio             27048   1 (autoclean)
ac97_codec             15624   0 (autoclean) [i810_audio]
soundcore               6340   2 (autoclean) [i810_audio]
