After repartitioning one of my hard drives while very tired (one never
learns!) i managed to mess up my system a bit. Fortunatly I had back ups
of most of my config files, and all the rpms lying around. Now only one
problem remains, and I can't seem to figure it out.
The problem is sound related, and it goes like this:
When I try to start a program using sound, be it a sample-player, a mp3
player, a cd player or a mixer, the program just sits around for about
five minutes before starting. When it eventualy starts it works
fine. This only applies to programs started while in X (including text
based programs started from a xterm), and not while logged in as root.
When the program is waiting, I can watch the process using qps and it
tells me the following:
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Addr Port Remote Addr Port State
udp 0 0 localhost 1110 localhost domain ESTABLISHED
tcp 0 0 * 1200 * 0 LISTEN
When the program eventualy starts up it looks like this:
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Addr Port Remote Addr Port State
tcp 0 0 * 1200 * 0 LISTEN
A couple of sound programs seems imune to this behaviour. These are
x11amp and xmcd. These programs start up right away, and does not
even have the above mentioned fields in qps.
Since all the programs work while beeing root (though not while beeing
started as root from a xterm on another users X) and while on the
console (not the ones that requires X of course) I am quite sure this
has something to do with X11 ownership and permissions.
Other information:
* Running Redhat 5.0 (kernel 2.0.32) the same compile of the kernel as
before the problems started, so I doubt the problem lies there. I have
tried to recompile though, just to be sure. The problem remained the
same.
* Original SoundBlaster
* XFree86 3.3.2-3 (SVGA server)
* Everything else works just fine.
* cat /dev/sndstat says like so:
