To fix this add something like this using sysctl... hw.snd.maxautovchans=4 hw.snd.pcm0.vchans=6 Just replace pcm0 with what ever your audio device is... this will allow multiple device to access it... You can also place it in /etc/sysctl.conf and it will take affect on every boot. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
mplayer screws up audio device access
Hi, I am running 4-Stable with up-to-date ports installed. I'm puzzled by what mplayer does to my audio device (I use mplayer-gtk-esound-0.92.0_4 compiled from ports). When I run "gmplayer -vo x11", I can only play one movie with sound. When I stop the movie (NOT exiting mplayer!) and start another one, I get this dialog from mplayer: "Could not open/initialize audio device -> no sound" and, of course, there's no sound. This is quite a nuissance. Any idea what is going wrong here?

mplayer screws up audio device access
Hi, I am running 4-Stable with up-to-date ports installed. I'm puzzled by what mplayer does to my audio device. When I run "gmplayer -vo x11", I can only play one movie with sound. When I stop the movie (NOT exiting mplayer!) and start another movie, I get this dialog from mplayer: "Could not open/initialize audio device -> no sound" and, of course, there's no sound. This is quite a nuissance. Any idea what is going wrong here?
