Woah, it's been a while. I'm not running Gutsy at the moment. I've decided not to upgrade before the official release, for various reasons.
BUT, I can confirm this still happens on Feisty. I started artsd and esd the same way, and ended up with the same symptom of artsd being blocked. When tested with mplayer -ao, sound play through esd, but not through artsd. It's apparently not accepting any connections. stracing artsd shows the same endless loop with numerous call to write(). I conclude that nothing has changed about this bug. -- arts cannot work with esd https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/34983 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Team, which is a direct subscriber. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
