I installed 11.4 on an older T20 Thinkpad. Works pretty good except
for the audio. If a stream gets interrupted the whole audio goes into
a "stuttering" mode. I looked at the sound config (via YAST) and saw
that by default "Pulse audio" was enabled. On a 700mHz laptop, it
breaks into "stuttering" (a.a.a.a.a.) . Disabled on this machine
things sound much better.

What are the benefits of "pulse audio?" (It also beefed up my KMix
mixer)

Mixing. The varous outputs to the audio will be mixed togetehr. If you
use just eh alsa connection directly you can only have one source at a
time.
