I am using xmms 1.2.8 to play mp3's and a very 'weird' thing happens. Whilst an mp3 is playing, xmms randomly will stop playing and a message will pop up that states: "Please check that: 1. You have the correct outplut plugin selected 2. No other programs is blocking the soundcard 3. Your soundcard is configured properly. " I also get these errors: esd: Esound sound daemon already running or stale UNIX socket /tmp/.esd/socket This socket already exists indicating esd is already running. This becommes *very* frustrating because I can just hit the play button on xmms and it starts playing again. Then in 30 mins or so it gets blocked again. Here are some details. be happy if someone could suggest some solutions.
