After discussion with Paul Cassella and some more experimentation on my side, I've concluded that this is not a Linux kernel issue at all -- it's a "feature" of fvwm. Specifically, fvwm grabs the entire X server when it's doing a non-opaque move, and xmms only keeps playing music until its buffer is drained. The xmms buffer size seems to be dramatically smaller under ALSA, which is why I never saw the problem until I moved to 2.6.0-test4 and ALSA. I've changed "OpaqueMoveSize" in my .fvwm2rc file to 90, so it will only use outline-mode for moving windows which are 90% of the size of the screen -- i.e. never, for me. (Another workaround might be to increase xmms's buffer size, but I haven't pursued that side yet.) http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=3D98091 is also relevant here. --=20 Greg Wooledge | "Truth belongs to everybody." greg@wooledge.org | - The Red Hot Chili Peppers http://wooledge.org/~greg/ | --MW5yreqqjyrRcusr Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (OpenBSD) iD8DBQE/Wy/akAkqAYpL9t8RAtdEAJ9Wlp0zLntYROXvShRpOhnc7s20AACgop8p 3u7++g4ExNAMxHMyGp5CBsU= =n+Z4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --MW5yreqqjyrRcusr--
