I've been getting a couple of audio skips with 2.6.0-test9-mm2. Haven't heard a skip since test4 or so, so I'm assuming this is a result of the IO scheduler tweaks.
Here's how I can produce a skip: Running X, general usage (e.g. couple of xterms, an emacs, maybe a mozilla-thunderbird) I switch to the first virtual console with Ctrl+Alt+F1. I then switch back to X with Alt+F7. As X is redrawing the screen, the audio skips once. This happens most of the time, but its easier to reproduce when i am compiling something, and also when I cycle through the virtual consoles before switching back to X.
System: AMD XP2600+ nForce2 motherboard 512MB RAM nvidia GeForce4 Ti4800
Audio being played through the intel8x0 alsa module. I use the nvidia binary graphics driver with X.
XMMS 1.2.8 XFree 4.3.0
If theres any other info I can give, please tell me and I'll do my best to help out.
