Both, and previous kernels back to 2.4.3 have also shown this. I also replaced via82cxxx_audio.c in 2.4.8 with the latest (.15, 2.4.8 is ".14b") and recompiled, and the problem persists.
Keep in mind, this isn't a *total* lockup, it's a problem of the UI in XMMS and other applications becoming unresponsive. Audio skips from this are rare but not unknown to me. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
