23 For me, that aren't solutions, but ways to circunvent the problem, the problem
24 is still there...

27 Are you using the latest kernel?
28 What are the drivers that you're using for sound?
29 I have a iBook2.2 and I don't have any kind of problems..
30 the system is quite responsive, no sound "stalls/breaks" while compiling stuph
31 with emerge.
32
33 I've made a page when I used debian:
34 http://mega.ist.utl.pt/~mmsf/ibook.html
35 It's based on debian, but its mostly all valid, I still use those configs in my
36 gentoo, maybe some day I adapt that page to the gentoo distro.
37
38 use Ben's kernels, they're quite good for ibooks/powerbooks.
39
40 Also, xmms has a config option that says:
41 Use real time priority if possible.. something like this, activate it!
42
43 Hope it helps!

45 best regards (cumprimentos)
