Hello, After playing around with the gkrellm plugin for xmms (which I have removed) xmms does not play anymore. Can something still be 'locked' somewhere? There might be a further complication however because Gnome soundcard-detection also does not work anymore. It starts up about 5 processes ('sox') which do not end when I close the soundcard-detection window. And CPU usage goes up to 100%. This is on a Dell I8100 laptop with the maestro3 using the oss drivers with the updated kernel-2.4.18-17.8.0. 'pcm' and 'volume' are on ('locked') in volume control.
