Awsome! This patch fixed the problem for me.
Even after this patch, I was still getting it to "Aborted" occationally,
but a "make distclean;make;make install" seems to have fixed that.
Thank you!
John
P.S. What are you using for a soundcard? I am using an old SB Live! I
tried using the onboard S/PDIF, but it caused an occational crackel in
the sound.
