Really odd issue with KDE3.4 and FBD 5.3 with sound.

[Steven Lake]

Just recently upgraded a box from a static server to a workstation and installed KDE 3.4, upgraded the kernel to the latest patch.  Yet when I play two audio sources, about 2/3rds of the time it gags KDE pretty badly and I have to shell in from another machine and kill the process.  Any ideas what might be causing this?

I've got the following settings configured in my sysctl.conf file.

hw.snd.pcm0.vchans=6
hw.snd.maxautovchans=6

It works properly on another machine very simliar to it without a problem, but not this one.  The only difference is that the board in the machine this config works on is an MSI Nvidia board (N7 something, I forgot what exacty) and the one it's not working on has an Asus A7V8X-X board in it.  Would this have anything to do with my issue, or is there something else I'm unaware of?
