Hi all,
I have determined what has been causing audio to fail on my F11 system:
Flash locks the sound device and subsequent applications can't output sound.
A typical course of events is: first I play a YouTube video in Firefox or
Epiphany. Then I try to listen to some tracks in Rhythmbox. The latter
simply refuses to output. (This happens as well with VLC etc)
In a terminal this is what I see:
$ fuser -v /dev/snd/*
USER PID ACCESS COMMAND
/dev/snd/pcmC0D0p: colin 29931 F...m npviewer.bin
or, with epiphany:
$ fuser -v /dev/snd/*
USER PID ACCESS COMMAND
/dev/snd/pcmC0D0p: colin 15623 F...m epiphany
killing epiphany or npviewer.bin fixes things; rhythmbox begins playing
music as soon as I do this.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to keep Flash from *monopolizing* the
sound device? I thought these kinds of issues were settled by
ALSA/pulseaudio; that is to say, I didn't encounter this behaviour in
earlier Fedoras.
Thanks.
