Probably 'esd' rather than 'oafd' is the problem. You can check that by running 'fuser -v /dev/dsp'. | So, how can I fix this problem. Have a logout script that kills esd. It _should_ go away on its own, but in my experience it often doesn't. For example, my .xsession has this at the end : ----- # # run the session # gnome-session # # do some last-minute cleanup # # clean up esd ESD=`pidof esd` if [ -n "$ESD" ] ; then kill -TERM $ESD fi ----- -D -- The light of the righteous shines brightly, but the lamp of the wicked is snuffed out.
