If you have a (more or less) standard RH 7.3 setup, then that should
no be the case. AFAIK, the default kernel logger (klogd) writes its
messages immediately.
The only way the above could happen is if you were running something
like metalog instead (one of the next-generation system loggers).
Metalog *does* have the above behavior (for performance reasons) but
you can send it a USR1 signal (I think) to make it write log
messages in real-time instead.
Which is actually something you might want to do (after you get this
straigtened out).
What do you think, Fernando? Would something like metalog be better
for audio stuff than the old klogd?
