I've built LMMS 0.4.8 from source, under Debian (lenny).
Machine is an older AMD Athlon 1.33 Ghz 256 MB.
I can playback simple songs live no problem, but I wanted to use it for more complicated projects. I had planned on just "freezing" tracks that I wasn't working on once CPU usage became scarce. To test out this possibility I was using Skiessi-Onion.mmpz. My computer isn't quite powerful enough to render this song live, so I set out to freeze a track or two and see how that might help.
I select freeze on a track
a dialog pops up stating that it is freezing the track
the progress bar quickly goes from 0 to 100 percent
CPU usage hits 100 percent
I decide to give it some time and walk away for a few minutes
I come back and CPU is now 100 percent IOwait
I think it odd, but walk away to give it more time.
I come back and CPU is still bogged with IOwait, terminal is unresponsive.
Ctrl-Alt-Del.
Anyone know what might be the problem here, or maybe I've come across a bug?
