Sound Crash update...

Hi!

I now had Fire running about one week for about 12 hours a day on a  
Powerbook 667 MHz. I had no single crash, whereas I had up to 5 or  
even 10 crashes a day on the dual G5 machine (both running OS 10.4).  
So it seems to have to do something with speed (too fast) or things  
that happen "at the same time" on the dual processor machine due to  
the two processors. I had such thing once in another application,  
where some multithreading stuff didn't work correctly (crash) due to  
some code got processed too fast (sounds wierd, I know).
I hope I will find some time the next weeks to dive more into that  
problem on both machines with the debugger and do some  
investigations. But maybe one of you has a quick idea or hint where  
the bug might be due to the speed thing mentioned above?!

Regards
Tobi
