Hi Rynhardt,
I ran into a similar problem with eflite and speech-dispatcher a while
ago. There is a bug in alsa-lib that you might be running into. You
could try building alsa-lib with the following patch:
--- alsa-lib-1.0.15/src/pcm/pcm_dmix.c 2007-10-15 04:45:26.000000000 -0400
+++ alsa-lib-hg20071222/src/pcm/pcm_dmix.c 2007-12-10 20:00:04.000000000 -0500

snd_pcm_direct_client_discard(dmix);
shm_sum_discard(dmix);

free(dmix->bindings);
pcm->private_data = NULL;
or just downloading a recent alsa-lib snapshot from
ftp://ftp.suse.de/pub/projects/alsa/snapshot/lib and building it (the fix
is in their hg tree, but it was made post-1.0.15, so there is no release
that includes it yet.)
Hth,

Hi,
I have a strange problem with alsa on my grml (debian unstable) machine.
When ever I play some music in a player and press the stop button, the
player and speech-dispatcher locks up and I have to kill the music
player by hand.
I have tested this with audacious, rhythmbox, and mpd (with mpc and
other clients).
I have search google for people with this problem before me, but with no
sucsess.
I hope someone can help me.
Thanks in advance.
Take care,
Rynhardt
