No you can drop it, but maybe we should more seriously deprecate the oss version. -- Guido -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Do you think the patch is still needed? I don't think it'll apply to 4.4 anyway, so it'll need a refresh.

I don't know how oss survive suspend, but you really should use alsa anyway. Cheers, -- Yves-Alexis -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

That works around the problem. The problem is still there in xfce4-mixer-oss though. But thanks for the suggestion, I didn't know about the -alsa version.

Just enable the plugin and do a "fuser /dev/mixer" I don't use oss so can't reproduce here. lsof | grep xfce4-mixer doesn't return anything obvious. Can't you use alsa on your system?
