[Bug 36932] Audio device busy after first use
Public bug report changed: https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/36932 Comment: I wonder why esound is deprecated - afaik it was halfway new wasn't it? Testing with aplay the sounds are played serialized - not like esd. Also - if I think of this some more I assume it to be a problem of alsa - because xine didn't use esd in the first place and also in dapper esd is not chosen as the default anymore. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Public bug report changed: https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/36932 Comment: Oh and another thing. This seems to happen only when the video (dvd) is trying to output at least 5.1 surround sound. When the video is in stereo only it works fine. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Public bug report changed: https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/36932 Comment: So I checked again and although I didn't have the metapackage installed - the libarts was installed (it's a dependency of rosegarden). So I removed the libarts - but I still get the same message. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Public bug report changed: https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/36932 Comment: Doing the latter I hear nothing (yes, I have the levels on max). I tried to switch from totem-xine to totem-gstreamer (which is no real alternative because it is far to unperformant) and it gives me a Failed to play: Could not open resource for writing error. I assume that gstreamer uses the default output of gnome which is esd - and doing so I can't play anything in totem anymore (regardless of surround or not). -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Public bug report changed: https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/36932 Comment: I upgraded to dapper and at least the esdplay test plays the sounds on top of each other. But totem-xine still gives me an error. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Public bug report changed: https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/36932 Comment: Thanks for checking. So let's test whether dmix works for you: killall esd aplay /usr/share/sounds/login.wav sleep 1 aplay /usr/share/sounds/login.wav Does the second aplay call block? i. e. can you hear two sounds on top of each other, just like with esdplay? esound is deprecated in Dapper, btw, Gnome prefers to use ALSA directly now, if dmix (software mixing) works for your sound card. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Public bug reported: https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/36932 Affects: esound libesd0 (Ubuntu) Severity: Normal Priority: (none set) Status: Unconfirmed Description: When switching to esd (from alsa) in multimedia settings I get some annoying errors. When I for example watch a dvd and then attemt to watch another one (using totem-xine), the 2nd attemt gives me a The audio device is busy. Is another application using it? error message. I cannot resolve this - until I restart. Afterwards it works again. So I'd have to restart the computer every time I want to watch a movie - besides when it gives me this error message in totem - I can't test the default output - esd in the multimedia settings anymore. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
