Hi all, I'm trying to set up PulseAudio to play sound from Amarok (running in KDE) on a (Gentoo) linux box (client) to a Windows XP machine (server). The problem I have is that after approximately 10 minutes of play, Amarok will pop up a message saying the audio device is busy and no more audio will be heard until I restart Amarok. I am currently trying xine-lib -> pulseaudio directly, but I have also tried xine-lib -> alsa -> pulseaudio with the same apparent results. Amarok (amarokapp) displays the following message when sound stops playing (there's nothing more useful on the console output): Audio output unavailable; the device is busy. xine parameters: The following is displayed on the Windows pulseaudio server. The last 2 lines appear when the audio stops, everything else is from before that point. C:\progs\pulseaudio-0.9.6>pulseaudio.exe -vvv W: pulsecore/random.c: failed to get proper entropy. Falling back to seeding with current time. W: pulsecore/core-util.c: secure directory creation not supported on Win32. W: pulsecore/core.c: failed to allocate shared memory pool.

Thanks in advance AllenJB
