My problem has nothing to do with APM.
I do not have APM enabled (neither in the BIOS nor in the kernel).
I am not getting the same messages either. 
Here is my corresponding piece of /var/log/messages:

I checked the recording again. The exact point where the sound
stops is at 52 minutes 52 seconds, so that was at 02:57:53. As 
you see in the log above, nothing happened at that time.

I also checked the time log to make sure the above data are
correct. The vdr time was off by 2 seconds at 02:30:

rdate: Trying wald.hnv.icem.de (158.225.25.1)... Mon Apr 16 02:30:02 2001 (+2)

so the above data are correct enough.


Carsten.
