This doesn't sound like *real* fun ;) Maybe another displacement would
be getting sound to work again. See
http://tracker.squeakland.org/browse/SQ-214
Both Fedora and Ubuntu now run PulseAudio by default, which
virtualizes our ALSA calls, but incompletely. Here's the PulseAudio
author's summary of the state of affairs (if you're into flame wars,

He has some advice in there for how to get low-latency sound output.
