I don't know if this is true on any driver, but here's what happend yesterday: (i have au8810 driver; on x86_64 system) i was watching google video on my system (google video is a flash thing; thus emulated and uses OSS (the only app that needs it)) and suddenly gaim reconnected a network and beeped using aplay (ALSA) as a result, the sound was played, all sound looped (also flash), and a few hours later, my /var/log/kernel/warnings was > 600MB (kernel warnings). Now, we all know that: 1. ALSA has hardware mixing if the chipset/driver supports it (i know mine does). 2. OSS does not do any multiple sounds so, the OSS application is continually using soundcard. and aplay plays a short one... should it work or must aplay be denied??? (i'm using latest alsa)
