[Asterisk-Users] Problems with asterisk under RH8.0 (audio/sound)

[Lenny Tropiano / asterisk.org Mailing list]

We're experiencing the following "sound" issues with 
asterisk on RH8.0.  Basically the first thing is that
the audio stutters or is choppy on the console and
over a SIP phone (Cisco 7960).  I pulled latest CVS
code and recompiled, still same problem.  It records
voice mail just fine.  Using the base install with
sample config files for testing.

Also get these errors that might be indicative to the
problems...

Usually on startup...
	WARNING[49159]: File chan_oss.c, Line 226 (sound_thread): Read error on sound device: Resource temporarily unavailable

Usually after issuing a "dial" from the CLI:
	WARNING[98317]: File chan_oss.c, Line 617 (oss_read): Error reading from sound device (If you're running 'artsd' then kill it): Resource temporarily unavailable

This doesn't happen all the time.  No, I'm not running artsd. 
Was running Gnome/Bluecurve Desktop with esd running, but killed
that.  Also tested from run-level 3 (ie. no X11 running).

This is on a 1Ghz PIII (Laptop) with Maestro3 audio.
