by I seem to be on a roll today. :)
Whenever I play an mp3 from HD I get sound cutouts. I can't really say
when exactly is happening but putting the mpg into ram by running
dd if=mp3 of=/dev/null
until no disc activity occurs seems to solve the issues. The laptop is a
p3-700, 128meg free ram, 44 bytes of swap usage and the following is
reported by hdparm:
/dev/hda:
multcount = 16 (on)
I/O support = 1 (32-bit)
unmaskirq = 1 (on)
using_dma = 1 (on)
keepsettings = 0 (off)
nowerr = 0 (off)
readonly = 0 (off)
readahead = 256 (on)
geometry = 2584/240/63, sectors = 39070080, start = 0
busstate = 1 (on)
/dev/hda:

This does not happen with the CD-ROM drive and it's not happening now
with another mp3 (sigh...) but I have had this happen quite a few times
now.
As usual, if you want any more info, please holler.
