Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: pulseaudio
Ubuntu 8.04 LTS now uses PulseAudio as default sound server. Then I understand
when I am playing audio with totem, PulseAudio is working for it.
Well, the problem is that PulseAudio locks the audio card, and does not allow
to Alsa play sounds. For example, if while i am playing audio with totem, I run
command "aplay sound.wav", aplay cannot play the sound. I obtain this error:
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:996:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
aplay: main:546: error to open audio: Device or resource busy.
Then many applications that uses Alsa (or aplay) by default cannot play their
sounds.
It is needed a library to can share sound between both: PulseAudio and Alsa, as
previous Ubuntu versions had, in previous versions, this work used to be done
by library "libesd-alsa0", now it is needed a similar library for PulseAudio in
place of ESD.
Thanks you.
