After xmms has been running for about a day, it will not start playing a new track. This can happen either while xmms is playing or pressing play after xmms has been stopped for a while. Getting it to work again requires exiting xmms, then "killall xmms", and then a "alsactl restore", and finbally restarting xmms. If I don't do the killall, then the buttons on the side of the notebook won't control xmms ("Couldn't grab XF86Audio{Next,Prev,Play,Stop): another client may already have done so"). Before killing xmms today (after exiting the program) there where two process remaining: one started yesterday in state SLl, the other started 6 hours earlier in state Ss. The crossfade plugin is using the output plugin "ALSA 1.2.10 output plugin". Ogg123 can play music while xmms can't. Last week, while playing Konquest this happened and I got a lot of aRts errors stateing something like the server was too busy. Eventually, I got a big error window that said I could disable aRts (or somnething to that effect) and I haven't seen these errors since. Should I file a bugzilla report? Against which package? I'm using: xmms-crossfade-0.3.8-4 xmms-1.2.10-15 alsa-utils-1.0.9rc2-1 -Paul
This is probably related to one of a few known bugs. Have you tried disabling mmap mode in the ALSA output plugin? -Patrick "The N-Man" Barnes nman64@xxxxxxxxx
