sa2opl3 driver b0rkage?

[Bart Verwilst]

Hello! 

I'm using kernel 2.4.19-pre7-ac2, and since i upgraded, arts (KDE's sound 
server) keeps on crashing every few minutes :o( I have an OPL3SA2 sound card.

I think the cause is this:


<snip>
Summary of changes from v2.4.18 to v2.4.19-pre1
============================================

<marcelo@plucky.distro.conectiva> (02/03/13 1.160)
	- Add tape support to cciss driver                      (Stephen Cameron)
	- Add Permedia3 fb driver                               (Romain Dolbeau)
	- meye driver update                                    (Stelian Pop)
	- opl3sa2 update                                     (Zwane Mwaikambo)   <---  
</snip>

Several KDE bugreports say the same thing, for example:

http://bugs.kde.org/db/32/32415.html

My aRts dies with the messagebox "cpu overload - aborting".

I hope this will be solved soon, so i can enjoy stable sound again :o)

Thanks in advance!

PS Please CC me your replies, since i'm not on this list.

Have you tried going back to a 'working' kernel?

That was mostly cleanups, i haven't changed anything which could possibly 
affect playback.

Irregardless, i'll give it a test and give you some feedback

Hmm i was unable to reproduce with the defaults artsd settings in the 
sound configuration. Is there anything different from default in your 
setup? E.g. the response time slider thing.

Maybe it's because i use gcc 3.1?
