This is the latest - unkillable process, which can&#8217;t be killed with kill -9 or zone reboot. Reboot just hangs. Truss ends up with:

This is the second track from Porcupine Tree &#8220;Deadwing&#8221; called &#8220;Shallow&#8221;.
WYSIWYG&#8230; It sounds just like the graph in SND.  Especially if upsampled without decreasing the volume - like badly scratched disk. And yes, loud. Can it be any worse?
/usr/local/bin/sox effects: polyphase clipped 329755 samples; decrease volume?
