Hi 
I have the following problem:
when im in kde or something, xmms complains that i schould check the soundcard and ensure that no other programm is using it, and xmms does not play anything. when starting it in konsole it says
| Quote: | ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:1056:(snd_pcm_hw_open) open /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p failed: Device or resource busy
** WARNING **: alsa_setup(): Failed to open pcm device (hw:0,0): Device or resource busy
|
But i can hear the KDE sounds when closing,opening... a window etc.
Thx for your help and sry for my bad english (im only 15  ) |

You are probably using arts with kde, which reserves the sound. Under xmms preferences select arts driver as the output plugin (emerge if not existing). Also try experiment with the other output plugins.

Strenge
You can try
| Code: | | lsof | grep pcmC0D0p |
to see which processes use this device
If you have not lsof
so
it is a quite good peace of software and I think that it can help you in many cases.

| thanks, disabling the arts server worked, and lsof is really nice when you dont know which program uses for example the cdrom when trying to unmount it |
