Description m wolf 2000-08-29 19:12:35 UTC 
My load went into the 90's when using robust audio tool on a Dell Inspiron
7000.
Used the same rat rpm on several other non-maestro computers and the load
is in the 4% range.  Rat's homepage reports problems with maestro
specifically in the FAQ.

I am using maestro module v0.14.
This may affect other recording tools?

Can you get an strace of rat doing this and attach a chunk of it ?

Also does the 2.2.16 RH errata kernel help. Some maestro stuff got fixed
Comment 2 m wolf 2000-09-19 21:50:52 UTC 
just installed pinstripe which uses 2.2.16 and that didn't help.
i'll email you the strace because rat does realtime stuff and is constantly
getting the time which makes for a huge strace file.

maestro wakeup was indeed buggy a long time ago, and fixed.
