Aha, thanks ;-) $ dpkg -S /usr/lib/libasound.so.2.0.0 libasound2: /usr/lib/libasound.so.2.0.0 Package: libasound2 Versions: 0.9.0beta10a-3(/var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.debian.org_debian_dists_stable_main_binary-i386_Packages)(/var/lib/dpkg/status) Which is probably horribly old, knowing Debian stable ;-) >> > Also, does xmms use oss or alsa as output >> > driver - switching between the two may or may not improve things? >> >> Errm.

I'll play with it - should narrow things down. However, fundamentally, it used to work in 2.5.74, and is broken as of test3 ... that strongly implies to me there's a kernel problem. I'd rather fix OSS emulation if possible, and save everybody migrating to 2.6 from this pain ... ;-) M.
