--- Begin Message ---Package: alsa-base Version: 1.0.16-1.1 Severity: normal I don't know if the ultimate cause of this problem lies in iceweasel, KDE, alsa, or the kernel, but this seemed like the best place to report it. I get this message repeatedly in .xsession-errors: ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:996:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave I originally noticed it when iceweasel kept crashing on startup and attempting to restore a session, but it continued even with iceweasel killed. Disabling the KDE sound system caused the message to stop. An internet search shows others encountering this exact error message; the cause and the fix seems elusive. The reports seem to mention Intel audio often, and firefox/iceweasel. I've got both. One reported said the the intel driver has been unloaded (if I understand it); lsmod shows it's still in memory for me. When I restarted the KDE sound system, .xsession-errors showed unable to connect to sound server unable to connect to sound server unable to connect to sound server unable to connect to sound server unable to connect to sound server ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:996:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave unable to connect to sound server unable to connect to sound server unable to connect to sound server unable to connect to sound server unable to connect to sound server unable to connect to sound server unable to connect to sound server unable to connect to sound server server status: running, will suspend in 54 s real-time status: not started through real-time wrapper server buffer time: 40.6349 ms buffer size multiplier: 1 minimum stream buffer time: 40.6349 ms auto suspend time: 60 s audio method: null sampling rate: 44100 channels: 2 sample size: 16 bits duplex: half device: null fragments: 7 fragment size: 1024 The error messages do not restart, even after I relaunch iceweasel (though without the problematic site). -- Package-specific info: --- Begin additional package status --- Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Inst/Cfg-files/Unpacked/Failed-cfg/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-================================-================================-================================================================================ ii libasound2 1.0.16-2 ALSA library --- End additional package status --- --- Begin /proc/asound/version --- Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.15 (Tue Nov 20 19:16:42 2007 UTC). --- End /proc/asound/version --- --- Begin /proc/asound/cards --- 0 [Intel ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel HDA Intel at 0x8d200000 irq 21 --- End /proc/asound/cards --- --- Begin /dev/snd/ listing --- total 0 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 0 2008-05-08 04:35 controlC0 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 24 2008-05-16 12:31 pcmC0D0c crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 16 2008-05-16 12:31 pcmC0D0p crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 33 2008-05-08 04:35 timer --- End /dev/snd/ listing --- -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (990, 'stable'), (50, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-1-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages alsa-base depends on: ii linux-sound-base 1.0.16-1.1 base package for ALSA and OSS soun ii lsof 4.78.dfsg.1-4 List open files ii module-init-tools 3.4-1 tools for managing Linux kernel mo Versions of packages alsa-base recommends: ii alsa-utils 1.0.16-1 ALSA utilities Versions of packages libasound2 depends on: ii libc6 2.7-10 GNU C Library: Shared libraries -- no debconf information

--- Begin Message ---Version: 1.5.9-3+rm arts was last released with Debian 6.0 (squeeze) in February 2011 and removed from Debian sid/unstable later in 2011 (see http://bugs.debian.org/619729 for details on the removal). Since support for squeeze and squeeze-LTS has now ended, I'm closing all the remaining bugs reported against this package. Andreas
