Could be a temporary thing that corrects itself quicly? Dunno. My point is that it's not supposed to happen and most people don't get that problem.

NOTE: In this whole discussion I am assuming that if you are running Beta11 you are also running Hijack. If your player freezes with plain Beta11, that's a known "jiffies bug" in the beta11 kernel that's corrected by installing any recent release of Hijack.
