Red Hat The up to now highly anticipated Red Hat Linux 9 is finally released. OSNews had its hands to the final version of Red Hat Linux 9 for over 3 weeks now and we were able to evaluate it in a number of ways. The final version is not too different than the Phoebe-3 beta for which we wrote a preview recently.

While I certainly agree that the technical causes of this type of sound problem is something that new users should never have to deal with, I am curious as to what might be causing it.

Perhaps xmms and or the sound drivers/sound server (is redhat using a sound server?) is not behaving well with the new nptl implimentation. Or RedHat simply hasn't included desktop performance inhanceing kernel patches for the sake of maintaining raw server performance and this is causing xmms not to get the cpu slices it needs to function properly.
