If you are running KDE desktop, the artsd which is the Arts Sound daemon is running and that will cause dsp to always be busy. You can configure Xine to use arts sound and then it should coexist peacefully with artsd, and the same is true for mplayer. Never had a problem with flash, so I don't know why that would be a problem. I do have problems with realplayer and in most cases, need to kill artsd before running any real media files and then just start it back up again. -- Bryan Phinney Software Test Engineer
