I haven't looked at the code, but does a value of 0 for vchans mean infinite, I know this is a standard use for the value of zero in some instances... What what I gather, 0 means none, only use how many channels the sound card has. I'm assuming that John has multiple hardware channels.

I suppose it uses it, but why does it lock it for extended periods of time. KDE can't even use the sound driver while this is happening. set sysctl hw.snd.verbose as high as it'll go (3, with the latest code) and cat /dev/sndstat. it'll tell you the pid of the process using each channel.

I recall reading the explanation somewhere on the KDE site on why artsd will hold a lock on the sound device, but as I recall the lock is like for 30 or 60 seconds... Reading the explanation I seem to recall thinking it was a lame hack solution to the problem of dealing with multiple opens
