[xine-user] soundblaster live, digital out, alsa drivers, dual cpu -> hard crash

[Jurriaan <thu...@xs...>]

I'm looking for people where a certain combination of hardware and
software works, and since xine is a part of that combination, I hope
this is on-topic here.

I have the following hardware:

Abit VP6 dual cpu motherboard (VIA 694 chipset)
Videologic Digitheatre DTS 5.1 decoder/speakers
Soundblaster Live 5.1 soundcard

and the following software:

linux-2.4.21-pre1 with alsa-0.9.0rc6 drivers/library/utilities
linux-2.5.50 with builtin-alsa drivers
xine-0.9.13 (latest from debian-testing)

If I try to use the digital out so I can get 5.1 sound from Xine, after
one or more minutes I get a few repeating bursts of static, and my whole
computer hangs hard. Now I've read the FAQ, and I know this isn't xine's
fault, but I would like to know if anybody has gotten this combination
of SMP-kernel, Soundblaster Live and digital out working correctly.

If you have it working, please get back to me - I'd like to compare some
thing (which slot is the soundblaster in, /proc/interrupt output, etc.).

Thanks,
Jurriaan
