I'm having problems with xmms and kde (the versions installed by LM
7.1). If I click on an mp3 file in kfm (after changing the appropriate
application and mime settings), about 75% of the time xmms complains
with:
Couldn't open audio
Please check that:
1. You have the correct output plugin selected
2. No other programs is [sic] blocking the soundcard
3. Your soundcard is configured correctly.
The other 25% of the time, the mp3 starts playing as it should. I also
get this error when playing mp3s from a playlist. The first plays,
finishes, and then I get the above error message when the second mp3
tries to start. I have no other sound problems when it's all kde, so
I'm wondering if kaudioserver is the culprit (e.g., it's having problems
with non-kde apps). This problem also occurs on my workstation at the
office with different hardware, same software.
Thanks for any help with this.
