After I try to kill it, even 'ps' just stalls there, and there is even no possibility to reboot - the system just stalls waiting for some process to finish. Keyboard reacts and all that, but no advancement. But, when I stop artsd before I try to load the site, the plugins work. I'll try to play with artsd options - let's see what the reason may be. As I guess, artsd tries to lock /dev/dsp, and then nspluginviewer just stalls while waiting for /dev/dsp to be freed. But why the hell artsd should behave like this in case of SB Live!? There is no reason to lock /dev/dsp as there are 32 channels. There is almost no reason for artsd even to exist in this case - as the sound channel mixing is done in HARDWARE. > Cheers; Leon
