I got a new kernel and a new git yesterday. One of them is causing massive latency in my sound system. I looked at the changes to git that were made yesterday, and suspect that the latency came with the kernel. 2.6.31-5-generic is the new kernel. Just for "fun" I reinstalled my entire system this morning, and the latency is the same, so it is not due to any tweaks I have made. I have been running using winecfg's oss sound and padsp for a week or so. It had been working fairly well. Anyway, before I file a bug on Ubuntu against the kernel, I thought I would ask if yesterday's git might be at fault. I don't have time to do regression testing before Friday, but I will do it if needed. Susan
