I believe (but this is based purely on gut feeling) that Pulse-audio (the Ubuntu default) doesn't play as nice with Alsa as it should. For me this seems related to certain applications (say Skype or a browser running Flash (or having opened it)) claiming the soundcard in ways they shouldn't. As ChucK depends on the audio drivers polling it (or so it seems to me) a malformed connection there will muck up every thing else.
For me it has so far been fixed by stopping the VM, quitting all such programs, adn re-starting it. sadly this process may well crash the mini altogether.
Hmm, you might be right but: 1) I installed miniAudicle on my wifes eee running a vanilla ubuntu 9.04 and I never had a problem here. 2) He didn't have any other applications running at the time. 3) I wasn't able to successfully run the mini even a single time. Wouldn't a solution be to remove pulseaudio? I didn't hear much good about it over at linux-audio-users, many say the first thing they do upon installation is to remove pulseaudio... -- Atte http://atte.dk http://modlys.dk http://virb.com/atte
