xmms gthread crash (...may only be initialized once)
tags 195538 + upstream help thanks I think I know why this is happening now, in xmms and in other libartsc (arts C wrapper) applications: the latest libartsflow_idl now depends on libgthread-2.0, for a thread-related feature called GSL. I don't really know what that feature provides, but it means that libartsout.so ends up depending on libgthread-2.0.so.0. This causes problems when it's used by xmms, since xmms is of course based on Glib/GTK 1.2, and depends on libgthread-1.2 for its own purposes. As far as I know, libgthread-1.2 and libgthread-2.0 cannot co-operate in the same process like that, hence the errors about initialising twice and so on. There are several possible solutions I can think of: * compile arts without GSL and hence without libgthread-2.0 (not immediately available from a quick inspection of it, but maybe possible) * split arts support into a separate process, somehow (lots of new code) * port xmms to GTK 2.0 (ouch!), theoretically the best and cleanest solution (I assume the only reason why it still uses GTK 1.2, other than that nobody has got around to it yet, is plugin compatibility issues...) All comments and advice very much welcome, especially on how to do either of the first two options. -- Chris Boyle - http://people.debian.org/~cmb/ GPG: B7D86E0F, MSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED], ICQ: 24151961, AIM: kerneloops, Yahoo: kerneloops, IRC: cmb on freenode.net

artsd + esd + xmms CAN work at the same time =)
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I would suggest the problem is that some programs are using artsd (the KDE sound server) and others are not. XMMS might be, depending on whether you're using the aRts output plugin. If all programs use artsd, they can play sounds at the same time and artsd will mix them. This is the method I use. Applications not written with artsd in mind can be made to use it with artsdsp, which intercepts the audio, see the man page. A similar thing can be achieved with esd and esddsp. AFAIK all kde2 apps will use artsd and all gnome apps will use esd. Actually you can have _everything_ working by wrapping esd in artsd as follows (it works the other way around too): * Make sure artsd is running (i.e. check start sound server in the KDE control panel). Check with ps auxww |grep artsd. * Use the xmms aRts output plugin (available from xmms.org). * Wrap esd in artsd by renaming /usr/bin/esd to /usr/bin/esd.real (debian users can use dpkg-divert to make any upgrades use esd.real), and putting the following in /usr/bin/esd (don't forget to chmod 755): #!/bin/bash exec /usr/bin/artsdsp /usr/bin/esd.real $@ I've done this, and now xmms, everybuddy, and kde2 apps like konsole can all play sounds at the same time! The only thing that doesn't work is quake. I've so far had no luck wrapping it in anything. You just have to wait for artsd to release the device or do killall artsd and restart it when you're done.
