Thanks I knew the answer had to be something I hadn't seen before... now the task is to get all the disparate system apps that use each different system to call artsdsp...On Thu, 27 Mar 2003 10:05:34 +1100 James McDonald <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I have a mdk 9.0 box... sometimes when I use xmms I get the following

It looks as though it's due to another sound server monopolizing /dev/dsp...
How do you get them all to play happily or at least exit properly when they are done and not keep a lock on /dev/dsp?
Screw Gnome... as for OSS, well... run artsd as your base sound server. It works very well. The wrap all your apps that require OSS in the arts wrapper; artsdsp. What artsdsp does is takes OSS calls and runs them seamlessly through artsd... Very elegant.
For instance, if you want to run mpg123 to listen to a couple of *.mp3's... jst do; artsdsp mpg123 -Z some.mp3's and mpg123 will play it's audio via the artsd daemon.
I am getting to the stage where I think it would be better to make my own distribution JamesLinux or something just so I can have everything work the way I want it to.
