I've got a computer running a mix of testing/unstable with the latest updates with a weird problem.
I upgraded to kernel-image-2.4.25 so I could take advantage of the pre-compiled alsa modules available in alsa-modules-2.4.25. aRts seems to recognize the sound card fine after the modules are loaded - kscd plays an audio cd without any problems. However, when I load xmms and try to play a song, it takes about 10 - 15 seconds for each second of audio that it plays. I switched back to the OSS modules and have the same problem. I then tried upgrading to 2.4.26, but it still does the same thing. I have checked and it's not loading up the memory or cpu, so I can't see what would be causing this. The computer is an AMD 2600 with 512MB of ram. The sound card is built into a Gigabyte motherboard using the Nvidia nforce2 chipset. I am trying both the i810_audio and snd-intel8x0 modules. Occasionally I get this error from the i810_audio module: kernel: i810_audio: drain_dac, dma timeout? Under kernel 2.4.20, before I did the recent updates, this sound card and the i810_audio module worked great together. Has anyone else seen this problem before?
