After several minutes, timidity2.i, which uses the dsp port directly, said it couldn't open the dsp device. A check with lsof showed that artsd had the port open. Killing artsd made the port available again. So, looks like the timeout doesn't work on my system. Has anyone actually seen artsd time out and relinquish the dsp device on FreeBSD? -Jim Durham To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
