[PD] soundcard noise

[shreeswifty]

And also you might do a

chkconfig --list
and see which un-needed progs might be running in the bakround that you do
not need
it matters what kind of Box you are running but i was able to shut off about
10  memory residents which made a nice difference

chkconfig --level 5 name_of_prog_hog  off

cheers
