(after killing player) X-SMF-Hop-Count: 3 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset="KOI8-R" Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Connect2-SMTP 4.32.03 MHS/SMF to SMTP Gateway Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, I have 2.2.7R and just installed a new pcm driver for my ess1688 sound card. Amp plays fine mp3 audio files, and when it was playing a mp3 file I hit ctrl-C and killed amp. Having killed amp I coundn't play any files using other mp3 players they all claimed "coudn't open : audio device is busy" :( only reboot helps. Well what should I do to release(free) audio device without reboot? Sincerely, Vlad Safronov.
