Hi Ariff :) I haven't had the problem since.But i decided to check with fstat...and I was amazed at the number of file descriptors (to /dev/[sound_related]) that skype keeps open. I use skype extensively, both for chat + voice. I've had skype running for over 12 hours, probably 24 hours (my uptime says 1 day 21 hours...so maybe as long as that). When I run your command, I got 2700+ entries - all but 2 were skype's! You can see it for yourself at http://www.meijome.net/files/freebsd/20070706/withskype_12hrs+.txt I then shut down skype : http://www.meijome.net/files/freebsd/20070706/b4skype.txt And opened it again, waited it to log in and go another snapshot: http://www.meijome.net/files/freebsd/20070706/withskype.txt (no changes really). I then did a test call to the skype test call bot, while the call was running i got: http://www.meijome.net/files/freebsd/20070706/skype_1_call.txt which is , i suppose, ok... but AFTER the call, I still had several entries left over: http://www.meijome.net/files/freebsd/20070706/skype_1_call_finished.txt Is this normal / expected? Thanks again for all your help.
