I thought it was over when I killed powerd. But now it suddenly makes "hiccup" every few seconds again. This appears on the internal sound card (intel ich4) as well as the USB (m-audio transit) With mpd, xmms, waveplay... No load, processor or disk stress. - Thinkpad T42p - FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE #5: Thu Mar 29 16:23:53 CEST 2007 m.
