After I stop playing a sound file (deliberately within a program
or because of program crash), I can't play any more music until
I reboot the machine.
It seems like the device is still waiting for more input from
that file.
Yesterday:
Feb 16 07:29:04 set /kernel: pcm0: play interrupt timeout, channel dead
Today:
t$ timidity hp_amin.mid
/dev/dsp: Device busy
Couldn't open dsp device (`d')
$ waveplay pretty.wav
[..]
openDSP: Device busy
$ cat hit1.au > /dev/audio
bash: /dev/audio: Device busy
This may be a bug, but for now I'm stuck with it, since by other
reports upgrading is not going to make it go away.
Surely there is some brute force way that I can just clear the damn
thing out rather than rebooting each time?
