Bug 149617 – darwinia-1.3.0 and darwinia-demo-1.3.0 nearly unplayable

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description brad walker 2006-09-30 06:53:27 UTC]

darwinia and darwinia-demo are nearly unplayable on my system. the demo freezes every minute for at least 10 seconds, letting bursts of sound through. the full version is worse, often freezing without recovery.

i'm guessing glibc-2.4's different threading may be responsible.
