Broken pipe in module

[Guy Schlosser]

Hey there Hermann, and thanks for the rapid response. Yes, the same 
thing happens with pulseaudio. I can't really pin-point more or less 
frequently, but right now, I'd have to say the problem occurs less 
frequently after disabling pulse and going with alsa. I used a walk 
through on www.digitaldarragh.com to accomplish this. I know how to set 
output module to OSS, but how would I go about routing calls through 
aoss? Thanks again for the help in getting to the bottom of this.

Thanks,


Guy
