When you exit the process with the lowest PID goes away but the second one with the higher PID lives on. It seems to jam the dsp device. Kill it and you get your sound back. You probably get the ability to unload sound kernel drivers too. I have stopped using xanim because of this problem. Too bad, it was a cool little utility. -- -Ben Speirs To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
