Public bug reported:
When trying to use a gstreamer based player while another non-gstreamer based
application is using the sound card nothing plays and this leads to the
following error in the syslog:
module-alsa-sink.c: Error opening PCM device front:0: Device or resource busy
This is a big problem because I usually have me-tv (xine backend) start
loaded in the tray, and then no gstreamer based players (elisa being my
favourite) will play. Firefox will sometimes cause gstreamer based apps
to fail in this way. Two gstreamer based apps (I tried totem-gstreamer
and elisa) will work fine together. I tried:
Xine and Totem-gstreamer
Me-tv and elisa
Me-tv and totem-gstreamer
Mplayer and totem-gstreamer
Mplayer and elisa
Totem-xine and totem-gstreamer
Firefox (and youtube) and totem-gstreamer
In all of these cases, the gstreamer based app will fail to play with
the above error in the syslog
