Subj : Weird sound problem occuring...

Hello,

I'm new to this group first of all, so hi everybody. Second, I'm not new
to Linux :) but have never had this glitch happen before:

I have a Toshiba Satellite 4090XCDT with Debian unstable installed on it.
I compiled the ALSA drivers as modules in a custom and otherwise very
efficient 2.6.6 kernel. The problem I have is that when I play a sound
file (have only tried with an MP3) with either mplayer or xmms, and scroll
up or down in Mozilla, the sound slows down to about 2/3 the speed of what
it should be...

Also, when I try to run esd, instead of getting the normal
beep-beep-beep-beep one time and then esd starting... it just repeats the
beeps... like it's hanging...

I have to stress that this kernel is otherwise VERY, EXTREMELY stable and
fast! The system easily plays divx movies with mplayer. So why would this
slowdown with audio files occur?

I think it's a weird problem, anybody have any hints?

Michael
