The only other thing I can think of is with firefox open and playing a youtube page, post your lsof output incase some other process if locking up your alsa.
Here is mine:
lsof | grep /dev/snd:
xfce4-mix 7064 pariksheet 14u CHR 116,0 0t0 7346 /dev/snd/controlC0
firefox 10666 pariksheet mem CHR 116,16 7329 /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p
firefox 10666 pariksheet 97r CHR 116,33 0t0 7299 /dev/snd/timer
firefox 10666 pariksheet 98u CHR 116,16 0t0 7329 /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p
lsof | grep alsa:
xfce4-mix 7064 pariksheet mem REG 8,3 346209 608974 /usr/lib64/gstreamer-0.10/libgstalsa.so
lsof | grep sound:
conky 7028 pariksheet mem REG 8,3 3272153 16369128 /usr/lib64/libasound.so.2.0.0
xfce4-mix 7064 pariksheet mem REG 8,3 3272153 16369128 /usr/lib64/libasound.so.2.0.0

I need to keep up to date with kernel documentiation
I need to keep up to date with kernel documentiation. A good one to start with would be "/usr/src/linux/Documentation/sound/alsa/HD-Audio-Models.txt".
It is allway good to know how kernel variables can be set at boot
This is from forums.gentoo.org
So, I'll be looking at /etc/sysctl.conf sometime soon, and maybe read more about it, starting with the man page.

Starting Cinelerra video editing app results in the following error:
Code:
Void MWindow::init_shm(): WARNING: /proc/sys/kernel shmmax is 0x2000000, which is too low.
Before running Cinerella do the following as root:
echo "0x7ffffff" > /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax
What's happen and how can i solve it?
Is it secure overwrite shmmax?
Posted: Wed Sep 16, 2009 10:52 am Post subject:
shmmax is just the maximum sized memory segment a process can request, an increase shouldn't really be a security issue, and the increase they're asking for is only 4 times the default, which isn't that much.
You can just add "kernel.shmmax 134217728" to /etc/sysctl.conf to have it set to 0x8000000 upon each boot.
Alternatively you could just run the echo command as suggested, and then run `echo 33554432 > /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax` to reset it to the default when finished with cinerella, if you're really concerned about it.

My Used 1997 Jetta GT
I recently bought a Jetta GT and I have incurred the task of assessing the vehicles fitness to pass Marylands State Inspection. The vehicle was, as I originally inspected the vehicle, in good condition except for the clutch. The clutch seemed a bit weak, and thought that I would only need to put an additional few hundred in parts. Having looked at numerous other vehicles I decided fairly quickly that this car would do. I bought the vehicle the next day for two thousand, and he kindly dropped the car off by my residence.
In preperasion for replacing the hardware that came with the clutch-kit -- a clutch disc, pressure plate, two plate shaped discs, and a spring clip. I also purchased new bolts to go with the clutch-kit, had dowel pins to replace the ones on the shifting mechanisum. In addition, I'll replace the front strut boots, and look-over more closely the CV boots, rubber mounts, rubber bushings, and rubber gromets. I found a rubber PVC hose with a gapping hole but was out of view. That PVC hose is going to be replaced today with a genuine VW part.
Well with the mechanics spoken about, I don't want to forget to mention some of its esthetics. The interrier is mostly a durable, not very hard plastic, and the upholstery is mostly black with some eighties blue, yellow red triangle patters and is in good condition. She also has a sunroof. I don't use it that much, but now half of the vehicles I've owned have had sunroofs again.
Still, even without a strong clutch, she holds the road fairly well, but was no where near the handling of the 2002 Volvo s40 that I was driving just before I bought the Jetta. Still, when I wrote, "she holds the road fairly well" I meant that she is better than a 1991 Honda Civic hatch-back I owned, and closer to how well the 1993 Mazda MX6 held the road. I drove her after I had the Honda. Further more the weight distribution feels like that of a 1991 Mazda MX6,that I owned before all the others mentioned so far, and the engines are very similar. Well, the only other vehicle I owned was a entirely blue ,from inside to out, 1985ish Pontiac Bonneville.
So right now my Jetta is struggling up hills. As the clutch is slipping more than in needed. Although, I haven't cared so much as driving fast will get one in trouble with the law in the States. Thus I'll have to readjust my habits after the new clutch-kit hardware has been put in there rightful place.
