Possible solutions:
- kernel changes - try lower version. I tried 2.6.12, it worked. - try without exec = /srv/www/encode.pl - maybe problems with script. - of course, OSS or OSS emulation can be tested. - compile options of Listener - i don't know about LFS, but with Gentoo you can over optimize binaries, so they works unstable or don't work.
- try with different distribution livecd - an example, Gentoo. Or better - install other distribution on separated partition.
If nothing helps, try to buy another soundcard - nowadays they are cheap :)

Yes im using ALSA. Dont have any other computer or soundcard to change to. The one now using is a p3 700mhz 256 meg ram. Integrated Cirrus Logic CS 4614/22/24/30 using Sound Fusion CS46xx driver. It records sound from line in. When it crashes it is complete removed from the task list. I tried again to start it after a crash yesterday and it worked for a while without a reboot. It worked for like 2 recordings then it puked again. The linux flawour im using is the latest Linux from Scratch (2.6.18.1 kernel) and it works like it should no other problems. Sound support and modules is compiled into the kernel The listener.conf im using now is:
wav_path = /mp3/nya_wavs/ fname_template = listener-%h-%y%m%d-%H%M%S.wav devname = /dev/dsp exec = /srv/www/encode.pl detect_level = 800 min_duration = 1 max_duration = 300 rec_silence = 5 sample_rate = 44100 channels = 1 format = wav from_pipe = 0 prerecord_n_seconds = 3
The exec script is to big to post so il make an url to it: http://drknas.dontexist.com/encode.pl
The error codes from listener is not so much helpful. Maybe an update on
error codes would be nice.
