Maybe your sound client software (or something else on the system) is querying for the number of vchans. Even "sysctl -a" will invoke the handler. > I'm wondering about whether this "bug" is ACPI related(interrupt storm?) > since recently when I run "make buildworld buildkernel" on one terminal and > do large file transmission(FTP ISO images on using em0) at the same time, > the sound tends to become "broken."

It is quite possible that locking collisions in the sound code might happen more frequently when the system is busy. Do your sound hardware and em0 share the same irq? If they do, that might be a clue that the problems are related. Can you boot with ACPI disabled, and if so, does it change the symptoms?Received on Sat Jun 05 2004 - 12:32:25 UTC
