ESD is still running. I tried your hint without success (thanks anyway). Then I tried to run xmms and grecord as root, and this time it works, i.e. I am able to play an mp3 from xmms and a recorded wav from grecord without need to close one of the two apps.
I had no time to investigate, I just did an 'ls -l' on /dev/sound and noticed that all the devices have 'crw' properties set for owner only (root?), and '---' for others. Could this be the in some relation with the problem I have running as normal user? raffaele [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Firstly, check if ESD is still running.
