I=C2=B4m using the builtin firewall script that comes with SUSE Linux 10. I=

not an iptables expert at all, but I think it is more likely that a bad=20

causing a pause.

Maybe you have a more general hardware issue with interrupts? Can you=20
smoothly play DVDs or other stuff without sound problems? Does your=20
soundcard work properly in other situations? Does your soundcard share=20
an interrupt with another device? If it shares an interrupt with=20
another frequently used piece of hardware playing sound may become a=20
problem. So if it shares an interrupt with your network card it=C2=B4s=20
likeley to produce such symptomes when you=C2=B4re online. What does=20
"cat /proc/interrupts" say? To me it seems to be more a general issue=20
with your sound setup somewhere.
