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.

Change its output driver from eSound to OSS and its fixed.
So redhat is trying to get around the limitations of most oss drivers of not mixing more than one simultaneous stream by using a crappy sound server that simply dies when under a cpu load playing anything more that the occasional pop or beep.
Hopefully once the 2.6 kernel becomes stable, and alsa becomes more commonplace these types of problems will go away as alsa supports software mixing in the kernel driver. Unfortunatly the alsa project doesn't seem interested in fixing its problem of muting everything by default.
