Description of Problem: New machine, was playing. Could play oggs and mp3s fine (mpg321 and ogg123). Ran xine to play a videocd. System time went to 100%, the load monitor was completely full (of load :)), nothing appeared in xine, attempted to start new terminal to run top and got none. So I killed xine and looked for log whinges. dmesg, it say: i810_audio: DMA overrun on write i810_audio: CIV 3, LVI 4, hwptr f10, count -32 i810_audio: DMA overrun on write i810_audio: CIV 3, LVI 4, hwptr f18, count -8 ..over and over again. Apparently this is the kernel and this i810 board thingy. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.4.7-6 xine-0.3.7-0 (from sourceforge, not from RH)
Upgraded to kernel 2.4.9-ac9. I am now getting working sound.
Is this still the case with the 7.2 final kernel?
yep
