1) I also updated from Ardour beta29 to beta30, and got strange crackling 
noises on a track in a old beta29 session, I'm quite sure It's because I have 
in that track a "delayorama" LADSPA plugin (prefader). When It's playing for 
some time, it start getting more and more noise... (It sounded right before 
with beta29). At this moment I don't know if there's a workaround for that, 
(appart from bypass the plugin) but I'll send the session to Sampo 
Savolainen, and he'll look at it...

2) My system is:
Suse 9.2 with 2.6.8-24.18-default kernel (no RT module/patch)
512 MB RAM 400MHz
Cheap Creative SB
Using:
Ardour beta30 (release)
JACK 0.100
