FWIW, Usually when the sound skips like that, there's a problem with the dma or irq setup on the board itself when you loaded the module. That's the angle that I would take. -- It's a shame that a family can be torn apart by something as simple as wild dogs.

I don't think that can be done. Woody (unstable) is based on glibc 2.2 while potato is based on glibc 2.1. Thus any binaries for woody that use the C library at all won't run (even if you get them to install) on potato. You could probably upgrade the libc independent of the rest of the system t
