Question #78789 on alsa-lib in ubuntu changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-lib/+question/78789
Marius Gedminas posted a new comment: I managed to fix the error with some deep black magic: strace -o /tmp/out mplayer -ao alsa file.mp3 watch it bomb out with an error grep shmget /tmp/out get one important line: shmget(5678293, 384, IPC_CREAT|0660) = 48824355 shmrm -M 5678293 Looks like the process that previously acted as the dmix server died, but did not free the SysV shared memory segment. I may have caused the problem by killing a firefox instance that stayed behind (with its 400 megs of virtual memory allocated) after I closed all of its windows. -- You received this question notification because you are a member of UF Unanswered Posts Team, which is an answer contact for Ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuforums-unanswered Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuforums-unanswered More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
