Heh, 4/13, my information is probably old then. D.T. Chen told me to try
upstream about a week before that release...

Yes :)

PS Found this looking back at D.T. Chen's e-mails:

<< Kernels that don't contain Takashi's pcm core (pcm_lib) rework are 
   particularly prone to this symptom. At least Fedora and Ubuntu have
   merged  the necessary bits, and I suspect Mandriva and OpenSUSE

I guess you can answer as to Mandrake? Do you know if this rework has
been backported to any previous releases that included pulse audio?

But then I was using an Ubuntu kernel, and others have reported this
with both recent Fedora and Ubuntu kernels, so it's probably another
Red Herring.
