I am running a 2.2.20 kernel using oss (soundcore and dmasound) on a beige G3.
When system notifications play artsd eats up a massive amound of cpu time (and occassionally crashes reporting cpu overload). I have read other messages suggesting this is a problem in the alsa oss compatibility layer, but given the kernel I am running and the fact I am using vanilla oss I cannot see how this is the issue. Is it simply that artsd doesn't like oss or the dmasound driver? Unfortunately I cannot upgrade my kernel as I have to boot off a floppy. Adrian
