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.This is probably related to one of a few known bugs. Have you tried disabling mmap mode in the ALSA output plugin?I'm seeing something very similar playing DVDs in kaffeine (Xine-based KDE media player). Especially when I switch to or from the menu, but it also just happened in the middle of playing a disc. Kaffeine stops playing any sound, then shortly thereafter freezes, and I have to "kill -9" kaffeine and restart it to make it work again. Should we comment further on the ALSA bug report, or is this something new? MEF
This may be related, but I personally haven't heard this exact complaint yet. Search Bugzilla. If you think this is related to an existing bug, add your information (including traces, if possible). Otherwise, file a new report. -Patrick "The N-Man" Barnes nman64@xxxxxxxxx
