Hmm... no /var/log/auth.log file. This security stuff is new to me. Can
you tell me where I can force
pam (I assume that's who's writing the log) to write this log? I'll google.

I don't either, I think it is clock related. The video is following the
audio and the video player can't set the audio device clock. Thus, I
think it's related to setting the audio device's clock.

Yep, it's the same. That's good.

Right, that's why it worked when I set it to 44.1k (which was my default)

Yeah... I've done that. But, still I would like to be able to have
external apps set the clock, right?

yeah, it's /etc/init.d/alsasound in gentoo.
I appreciate your input, thanks!
