Right, I've set it to 100 now

Don't know if it's related, but isn't only the audio thread supposed
to be realtime?.

This certainly takes the message away;), but it seems I still have the
problem.

All other apps run fine, but when playing something in Snd, the
computer freeze and outputs a sandstorm of noise, until it's finished
playing. It's almost totally frozen; the mouse moves 1 cm every
second, maybe;)

I'm now seeing messages like:

SNDLIB: Setting player to non-realtime for 2 seconds
SNDLIB: Play thread set back to realtime priority


..btw, in between the five thousand:

Warning. 933 frames delayed

Thanks for the help so far;).
