How odd. The exact message you quote in the subject line is exactly the
message I get when the sound in DOOM cuts out. It seems that there has
been a small improvement in recent kernels that lets me play DOOM longer
before the sound cuts out, but it still does repeatedly.
You wouldn't happen to be using a Gravis Ultrasound, would you?
