Actually this is suspending, not aborting. aplay continues to run, it's only sleeping after C-z. > OTOH, after aborting, there's something in fuser /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p, > namely: > > /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p: 1696 1696m > > This 1696 is the aplay that I aborted but didn't kill. Yes, this is the suspended aplay. artsd is probably not using /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p but /dev/dsp0 directly. I don't know, if it would show up in the user list for pcmC0D0p then. You might check for users of /dev/dsp0 and /dev/dsp, too. Well, aplay not starting (which is what "running for an infinite time" means) is typically a problem with an occupied sound device. I would be a certain amount that there's still something under the hood. You might also try to restart ALSA. If you have a full install, there should be an init-script somewhere under /etc/init.d named something with alsa (it's "/etc/init.d/alsa" on Debian, and "/etc/init.d/alsasound" on some other dists.) Try restarting ALSA with that like "/etc/init.d/alsa restart" or "/etc/init.d/alsa force-restart" ciao -- Frank Barknecht _ ______footils.org__ ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
