Bug Description
After upgrading to Intrepid Alpha 4, I have very lagging sound, which sometimes disappears altogether.
The problem appears (to me) to be CPU hogging or something like that - i.e. I can sit and watch a movie in Totem fine, but the moment I decide to start Firefox, or receive a message in pidgin, while the movie is playing, the sound disappears. I then have to wait for the drive activity to die down before I can continue with the movie/sound.
In other words: Next to nothing must run while Totem/OSS is running in order for the sound to work.
Annoying indeed.
Since I am unsure whether this is a bug in the kernel, in OSS or somewhere else, I'll report it here.

Okay, I noticed that this was because OSS failed at relinking the modules to the new 2.6.27 kernel.
Then I simply went and reinstalled OSS, and all seems well now. Let's hope it lasts :)
