I have : hw.snd.maxautovchans: 4 hw.snd.pcm0.vchans: 4 And I have seen that these will eventually stop working one by one until I have none left. lsof and fstat don't show any programs using them, but nonetheless, programms like xmms and gaim can't use them anymore. Do you have any more details on the pcm play timeout? Are you using vchans? What program are you using? Rusty Nejdl >>> This is getting extremely frustrating.
