Package: mozilla-browser
Version: 1+rc3-2
Severity: minor
(note: this is similar to bug #148680 -- but not entirely, moreover, I
also included a suggested fix)
The part where you use fuser to check if /dev/dsp is in use, isn't
correct imo. Arts doesn't lock /dev/dsp if it's not playing sound (more
precisely, when it's suspended), so mozilla could start without artsdsp,
but say i start playing an mp3, arts wakes up, then i go to a site that
contains a flash thingy, and mozilla hangs because it didn't startup
with artsdsp (in a way the correct thing to do, because back then no-one
was using /dev/dsp)
i suggest a change along the lines of:
======
if [ "$MOZILLA_DSP" = "auto" ]; then
MOZILLA_DSP=""
# some process could start using /dev/dsp before mozilla does,
# and when mozilla does want to start using /dev/dsp, it could therefore
# be blocked
# P=`fuser /dev/dsp | sed -e 's#^/dev/dsp:##' `
# if [ -n "$P" ]; then
if [ "$(pidof esd)a" != "a" ];then MOZILLA_DSP=esddsp;
elif [ "$(pidof artsd)a" != "a" ]; then
MOZILLA_DSP=artsdsp; fi
# fi
elif [ "$MOZILLA_DSP" = "none" ];then
MOZILLA_DSP=""
fi
=====
keep up the good work,
greetings,
Adriaan Moors

iceape is using pgrep to check for running instances of esd, artsd,
et.al instead of using fuser on /dev/dsp.
