Greetings,
I'm a newbie to FreeBSD, so please forgive me if I've posted to the
wrong
list.
I'm trying to use an Audiotrak OptoPlay usb audio device, one that appears
as supported hardware in the handbook, in conjunction with mplayer. It
works great for tens of minutes and then it forces a reboot leading the
the following snippet in /var/log/messages:

I've done some research that has pointed at pcm and snd_uaudio things, but
I haven't found anything conclusive. The warnings above are probably
related to the machine coming down hard since this log is from the second
time the machine automatically rebooted. I appear to have a memory leak,
but I was wondering if others on this list had some pointers. I wanted to
try rebuilding a kernel from the stable branch, and I wanted to apply the
patch found at http://staff.mybsd.org.my/skywizard/FreeBSD/sound/, but
everything I've read has mentioned to rebuild world if I change from
release to stable. This machine needs to be production quality, so I'm
wary as to which course of action to take.
Thanks in advance,
Steve
