HELP - I'm going mad: mp3,audio/adb conflict

[Peter Handel]

Does anyone have an idea where I could start hunting for a fix for
this?  I've never really fiddled with the kernel before; too bad I
can't sick gdb on it :)  What's driving me nuts is that precompiled
kernels work perfectly [read problem description below].


Thanks,
Peter

This has been a long-standing problem for me with all kernels starting at
2.1.12x and continuing to present. It was *never* a problem with 2.1.24,
but there were apparently some changes in the sound driver post-2.1.24
(e.g., you used AFMT_S16_BE in 2.1.24, and little-endian or "NE" in
later kernels). Incidentally, I made the 2.1.24->2.1.121 jump, so I
don't know at what version it may have been a problem. It appears with
all apps that use the sound device that I have tried -- amp, mpg123,
timidity and xaudio.  The load average on the machine doesn't seem to
matter -- it seems to be solely related to mouse movements, and appears
with both XF68_FBDev and Xpmac.

It is not related to the compiler version, as I have had the problem
with various versions of egcs.
