One:


lconrad at cornet:/etc/cups$ ls /tmp/alsa-dmix*
/tmp/alsa-dmix-31669-1152375174-974298
lconrad at cornet:/etc/cups$

And that's pysol, which is what's having the timing issues:

lconrad at cornet:/etc/cups$ ps auxww | grep 31669
lconrad  31669  0.4  2.3  44312 22772 pts/4    SLl  Jul08   7:38 /usr/bin/python2.4 /usr/share/games/pysol/pysol.py --prefix=/usr --pkgdatadir=/usr/share/games/pysol --bindir=/usr/games
lconrad at cornet:/etc/cups$

The other one is also pysol.  And none of this changes between when
the problem isn't happening (right after I've started pysol) and when
it is.  Yesterday, pysol ran for several hours without exhibiting the
problem, but this morning when I woke up, it was back.
