On very high system load, an audio interrupt may occur while the |
|
audio process is filling audio ring buffers. This triggers bogus |
|
(and useless) correction code in the |
|
<a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=audio&sektion=4">audio(4)</a> |
|
driver causing the audio application to go out of sync, and in turn causing |
|
continuous stuttering until the application is restarted. |

In server mode when in full-duplex mode (the default) |
|
<a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=aucat&sektion=1">aucat(1)</a> |
|
will send each synchronization message twice, causing client applications |
|
to think that buffer underruns are occuring. Depending on the |
|
application, this may cause the sound to stutter. |

When DMA'able memory is mapped by device drivers, the |
|
mapping flags and protection are partially uninitialized. |
|
Depending on the calling context, this may cause devices to misbehave, like |
|
<a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=audio&sektion=4">audio(4)</a> |
|
to stutter, but other anomalies might be observed for other |
|
device types. |
