Just a minor correction, Linux has been ready for this task for quite
some time now.  DeMuDi and the successor 64studio have been stable and
capable for many years.  I still use 64studio on the production box,
UbuntuStudio is for the laptop which already has *Ubuntu (my Desktop OS).

What sound card do you have?

What is the error?

What are the contents of /etc/security/limits.conf?

The strace output that is suggested elsewhere in this thread is useful
as well.
