Yes, that was my bad. Will be looking into way to build my own 
multimedia kernel now, as I said the Planet CCRMA kernel locks my 
notebook pretty fast, and since both Slackware and Mandrake have 
multimedia optimized kernels for their distros it must be "doable" if I 
just dig through what CCRMA does to the stock kernel.
