I experienced this bug for the second time ever. The first time I did what most others did, and pull the power. Tonight it happened while I was in the car with my laptop sitting at a shell. I exited out because I was done, and got the stuttering sound. (Visuals were not on since I'm running 10a). Since I had the laptop still connected, I hit Q to cause the player to exit, then exited the shell. The player worked fine after that, so the bug is definitly in the player and not the kernel. This is only the second time I have seen it since owning my unit, so it's not a major problem, just something good for one of the programmers to look into when they get done with something else.
