Problems with audio init while xmms is running

SDL Development
1

Hi all,

I have a strange problem with initializing the audio subsystem while
xmms is running.

The SDL application does not start while xmms is running so I always
have to end xmms.

Any ideas (or code snippets) how to fix this?

System is Linux 2.4

These are the last lines I traced:
access("/etc/asound.conf", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
directory)
access("/home/hauke/.asoundrc", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
directory)
open("/dev/snd/controlC0", O_RDONLY) = 7
close(7) = 0
open("/dev/snd/controlC0", O_RDWR) = 7
ioctl(7, USBDEVFS_CONTROL, 0xbfffebcc) = 0
ioctl(7, 0x40045532, 0xbfffebf4) = 0
open("/dev/snd/pcmC0D0p", O_RDWR <unfinished …>

Thanks and kind regards,

If you are using KDE anyways configuring both, XMMS and SDL to use ARTS might
do the trick.

Well, that’s the point:
Some people use KDE, others use Gnome and I myself use fvwm1.
So some people didn’t install artsd some had…

I will discuss the use of artsd with the project leader :slight_smile:

Might be true, but acutally I have never had a problem with that.
