does this happen with firefox-2 and firefox-3? if so this fix will not be added to firefox-2 but will land for firefox-3. I didnt see a post about what versions you are seeing htis on.

[Bug 102408] Re: Evince opens ALSA library
I'm pretty sure it's not, because I started evince from the command line, not from within Firefox (I always save files to the desktop). Even if, it would still be evince that opened my sound device, not Firefox. Of course there might be another (different) bug in evince, which might be related to Firefox. My original observation was related to stand- alone evince, however. -- Evince opens ALSA library https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/102408 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 102408] Re: Evince opens ALSA library
The fact that Evince appears to access audio is probably some side effect of libasound/esd linkage with some of the gnome libraries: Whilst a listing from ldd /usr/bin/evince shows up various audio related libraries (e.g. libasound), however readelf -d /usr/bin/evince does not, which would indicate that it's not a direct dependency. -- Evince opens ALSA library https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/102408 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 102408] Re: Evince opens ALSA library
I have seen evince hold on to the audio device - Though I have only seen it after evince has been launched by Firefox - unfortunately it seems that Firefox does not close file descriptors when it spawns helper apps - hence if firefox has the audio dev open (quite often the case - e.g. after using Flash etc) then evince inherits the open audio descriptor and hangs onto it - even after Firefox is closed. In fact it happens with any app started by Firefox. It would appear that this bug has been reported on Firefox bugzilla but not fixed yet??!
