I've been trying to figure out this problem for about a week now and I'm out of ideas. I regularly run xmms and stream mp3s from a personal mp3 server (so I can listen to all of my music at home and work without any fuss). On my home machine running every mdk distro from 6.1 up to current cooker, xmms is great.
I just got a new P4-based machine at work and xmms refuses to play longer then about 20 minutes. It just stops playing music. I can click on a button (doesn't matter which) once, and then it's totally locked up. No other sound apps have any problems. mp3blaster runs for hours. It kinda seemed like just the GUI that was locking up, so I tried exporting it's display to another machine, and just hiding the main window. No love. I've compilied 3 different older versions of xmms using gcc-2.95.3, 2.96, and even 3.0.3. Still no love. I might try installing 8.1 and see if it still happens. The two machines are running *identical* up-to-date cooker, but they are totally different hardware. I can't figure out if it's a hardware issue, kernel, glibc, oss drivers, or even an X problem. Any ideas anyone? lspcidrake -v unknown : Intel Corporation|82845 845 (Brookdale) Chipset Host Bridge [BRIDGE_HOST] (vendor:8086 device:1a30 subv:1028 subd:010e) unknown : Intel Corporation|82845 845 (Brookdale) Chipset AGP Bridge [BRIDGE_PCI] (vendor:8086 device:1a31) unknown : Intel Corporation|82820 815e (Camino 2) Chipset PCI [BRIDGE_PCI] (vendor:8086 device:244e) i810-tco : Intel Corporation|82820 815e (Camino 2) Chipset ISA Bridge (ICH2) [BRIDGE_ISA] (vendor:8086 device:2440) unknown : Intel Corporation|82820 815e (Camino 2) Chipset IDE U100 [STORAGE_IDE] (vendor:8086 device:244b subv:1028 subd:010e) usb-uhci : unknown (8086/2442/1028/010e) [SERIAL_USB] unknown : Intel Corporation|82820 815e (Camino 2) Chipset SMBus [SERIAL_SMBUS] (vendor:8086 device:2443 subv:1028 subd:010e) usb-uhci : unknown (8086/2444/1028/010e) [SERIAL_USB] i810_audio : Intel Corporation|ICH2 810 Chipset AC'97 Audio Controller [MULTIMEDIA_AUDIO] (vendor:8086 device:2445 subv:1028 subd:010e) Card:ATI Radeon : ATI|Radeon QY [DISPLAY_VGA] (vendor:1002 device:5159 subv:1002 subd:1b8a) 3c59x : 3Com Corporation|3c905C-TX [Fast Etherlink] [NETWORK_ETHERNET] (vendor:10b7 device:9200 subv:1028 subd:00fe) unknown : Virtual|Hub [] (vendor:0000 device:0000) unknown : Virtual|Hub [] (vendor:0000 device:0000) unknown : Microsoft|Microsoft 5-Button Mouse with IntelliEye(TM) [Human Interface Devices|Boot Interface Subclass|Mouse] (vendor:045e device:0047)
